Please do. And I am serious about the CAI adaption. Having tested for a negative pressure last summer during the infamaous ram Air tests I did not find a pressure difference between the fake vents and the current site of my CAI intake.
Since Eurpocharged has me at almost 200HP at the wheel, I imagine there are no issues with "negative air presure' and would not be so from this new position.

Any improvements would be from removing the CAI away from the hot valve cover of the engine causing a loss of power when idling at the stop light. I could stop burping my engine which seems to invite unwanted challenges from neighboring ricers, Mustangs and Cobalts

Frankly the low performance of Squirrelcrusher's open side vents suggest that the natural outward airflow would not be that great. And my vacuum tests affirm that theory. There simply is not that much negative AP at the side wall of the car.

Look;
We have guys here that actually wrench on their cars, like Waldig and Boiler Up. Then we have armchair engineers who suppose what would happen but don't really apply these mystical concepts as serious mods to their Crossies.

Unless others have tried and proven them.

I like Wally's hood vents for simpliscity and actual function. In point of fact, he proves his theories before he proposes them here. One has to respect that.

But. that said, most of us would prefer more aestheticaly pleasing mods like what you have suggested.

Go for it.
