Y'know, the whole 'the vent is backwards' thing went through my mind when I first bought my CF hood .. but then, by pretty much total dumb luck, I freed up the perfect 'cold air inlet' when I installed my front-mount.
My stock side-mount intercooler used to sit behind my CF grill, alongside the radiator -- specifically, directly behind the 'MAZDASPEED' badge in my grill. But since I obviously ditched the side-mount for my front-mount .. it now leaves a big open hole (save for the badge and the grill mesh) right into the engine bay. And wouldn't you know it -- my intake sits right behind the friggin' hole.
Sometimes, God decides to be nice.
