2024 hood scoop functional?

Just curious if the hood scoop on the 2024 is actually functional or just purely decoration like the previous gens?

 

No

Watch some YT videos

 

I saw in one of the videos where the chief engineer said they did try and it caused instability inside the engine to pull air in from that point

I like that they both tried and kept it anyway because it looks cool

 

No they are just panties dropper like the 2nd and 3rd Generations.

 

Why does everyone want a functional hood scoop? What is the desired function? Ram Air?

 

Beats me, I would rather have non functional as a functional you would have to deal with an expensive duct work to keep debris from entering the scoop which would mean more cleaning, engine damage etc etc. The only advantage of the scoop is to drop panties, just saying

 

Half the people crying about the non-functional scoop have fake bead-locks, Raptor lights, snorkels, bull-bars, lights, lifts, etc., all for looks. It boggles the mind.
