Best method of making dual scoops functional?

I do as RRR stated. Hole cut right over carb with A filter top style air cleaner. I would be neat to install an electric activated shutter in the scoop.

Does this help the rain water go directly into the carb? Seems like it would come in through the scoop and have all the pleats to sit in as it drips directly into the carb throat. Works fine on a fair weather car or race car, but I wonder on a daily driver situation. Not being an ***, just concerned.
