The insulation is primarily for noise reduction not heat.

I remember wanting to use one of the lines/edges from the original hole, but I ended up cutting the entire circumference.

From what I recall, I did this because the existing tabs for the original scoops mounts did not line up with the mounting hardware on the new scoop.

i think im going to just sticky tape a wrx or 2.5 rs hood scoop on ... ghetto but i dont have to cut the hood.

or maybe just keep the stock leggy hood scoop (mine is cracked so i am looking for a stock hood scoop)
