I figure If I am going to have a hoodscoop, it needs to be functional! and I'm not worried about cutting into the hood. Because worst case, I have a spare stock steel hood that I can use...
XS2 here, if i have a hood scoop, i have a hole in the hood lol , definitely cut the hole first then play around with the scoop and decide where you like it , i tend to put them farther back on the hood.
