Any scoop can be made functional (if that's your desired intent) but for the most part, they're more for aesthetic value. That is, unless they sit 3 or 4" above the hood line to get above the layer of "dead air" that flows around the car.
I know they're aren't for everybody, but the "intimidation factor" alone has worked great for me. Nobody has challenged me at a traffic light since my scooped hood installation, with the exception of a few Harley's that I embarrased, (but they don't coun't).
As some SRT drivers constantly remind us NA owners, we're too slow to even beat a Camry. So the way I see it "backing em down" is like a WIN for me.
