It would help increase cold air flow into your filter. Basically you pattern where you want to cut, drill a hole in your hood, pull out the reciprocating saw, cut away the sheet metal leaving a hole, then pop in the vent and secure it.

yup, that is what i did on my es, and it is held in by rivets. the only down side is you might have to get through the frame of the hood, and the rivets i used rusted on top after getting wet only a few times. good luck

Cut a hole the size and shape of duct. Use 5-7 rivets to install Carefully drill holes and then install pinch moulding to the bqack edge. Takes about an hour.
