RE: Why don't automatic R/T's have functional hood scoops?
Correct,
The only way to even have the "Nostrils" as I call them to even be somewhat functional is to order the SRT inserts. The R/T doesnt regularly come that way Man or Auto. I can get them for about 35 a side, but unfortunately they are an SRT package which means SRT price. I though about ordering just to give even a little cool down effect to the engine but not for 70+ dollars for the set.
