Reply to "Cold air intake…. I am going down!!!!!"

To understand the issue we need to understand the aero-dynamics. The big hole in the engine cover is a low pressure area created by the air flowing over the roof (same principle as a carburettor). This depression sucks air up from around, e.g. under the car. Side scoops will help to feed this low pressure volume, as will a top scoop.

You may get some turbulent air from the roof flowing into an air-filter extension, due to the vacuum suck of the engine. It won't be as much as ram-air from a scoop.
