It would be interesting to measure airflow with the aluminum versus rubber just insde the inlet. I'll bet there is a much higher flow with the aluminum than the rubber due to the stiffness of the aluminum.

Someone said that an overheating transmission can make you loose a gear?
Is that just for the automatic transmissions or does that happen on manual transmissions as well?

I never noticed these scoops on my car so they might be missing.

I like the aluminum scoop idea but since I have a 3D Printer perhaps I should make a pair out of ABS plastic. In ABS they would disintegrate on impact and won't end up a sharp edged flying object at the auto-x.
