what if you weren't using it for cold air intake?

If you are using it for an air intake then yes it would be pointless, but if you are using it in the same way the STI uses its hood scoop for then it could be a good deal. You might be able to fit an oil cooler in right there by the air box (I have dayle's CAI so I have more room) and have fresh air blowing right on it, therefore keeping the coolent happy and not losing valuable engine bay space. This would work great if you are getting a SC or staying N/A, it would suck for a turbo app.

Thats my thoughts.
