Function of OEM Hood Scoop?

Why did you quote the world instead of just answering these?

It doesn't function, Its not open, N/A, N/A

 

OMG. This thread is full of misinformation. I am almost ashamed to be a part of this group. The scoop is functional and was designed this way by Toyota.

Its sole design and purpose is for us Sport owners to install a Knight Rider light.

Panties are gonna drop.


Well done Toyota. Well done.

 

It catches the eyes of the ladies.....

 

Well I guess only time will tell

 

Whoa guy no need to be firing shots over here. We are both sport owners. No need to be sensitive

 

I would put a Knight Rider light bar in it

 

if the air was able to come in, what would it help with?

 

i like the hood scoop but ended up with a OR because of the fender flares

 

Mainly filling the engine bay with extra road grime, water, and dust and adding another weird whistling noise to the truck.

 

Marty didn't have a scoop.

 

Lol you have a way with words ! English lit major ???

 

Computer geek

 

Wait its not functional? So you telling me that solid hunk of plastic doesn't get air into the quad turbo, krypton injected jet engine controlled by the neuro net CPU linked to quantum supercomputers that control the precision 6 speed automatic transmission?

If that's the case guess I'm just a TRD bro.

 

Even if it were "functional" you'd have to be going well over over 200 mph for it to do anything--read more here: the Ram Air Myth

 

So cliff notes...doesn't work but looks cool. I'm in.

 

Wait now ... Heathen is a sport ... I certainly don't want panties droppin around me

 

Sport guys are great !!! The scoop gets “the ladies “ lol .
If that’s really why .......

Lmao you better get a offroad hood then !!

 

So, lemme get this straight ! The sport and offroad are virtually the same in price but the sport has a non functional plastic hood scoop sport wheels and different bumper, instead of rear locker and crawl control !
I will very quietly laugh out loud to my self !

 

I remember a long time ago when people would get fake cell phones to hang on their belt.

 

Its simple to make this a functional scoop !!

You just need to know how to fab up a sheet metal cold air pan/box that seals to the underside of the hood using fireproof foam

Think something like a Ford Boss 302/428 style or shaker hood from a Dodge Challenger or Plymouth Cuda

From this air pan /box you run a CAI tube either to a modified factory air box or directly to the throttle body . Like I mentioned this is stupid simple if you've got metal fabrication skills its a no brainer

Also this style air box using a hood scoop you're getting cold ambient air to the motor !!
