Do it....

The GTR scoops line up with snorkels that pass air over the turbos. They are 100% function.
On the ISx50 and F the engine bay passes air in and through the exhaust manifold area. Cutting vents without attaching the snorkeling may upset the designed airflow in our cars for proper cooling.

IMO I would place them so they direct air down to the headers and CATz. Which is also the airflow exit for our cars.

It happens, better not to have installed crap.

What do you plan on picking up now that you sold the ISF?
