Hemi hood scoop reinforcement bars
Never ran mine without the hood. The air pressure is tremendous though. My lexan windshield flexes in to the point that I need to brace it. At the end of the season I found a spot I couldn't clean off...... turns out it was on the inside where the windshield was flexing in and rubbing my tach! I can imagine what it might like inside that scoop.
