Sure. Making the tray is easy. Making a box that seals to the hood is easy, too.
The hood scoop opening is about 16.5 square inches.
The 8 stacks have a opening of about 25 square inches.
The hood scoop is 66% of the stacks.
I'm not an aerodynamic or airflow expert by any long stretch of the imagination. But I look at the scoop, the stacks, and the numbers, and I don't like to comparison.
But, that's not to say I have not considered this. Making the aluminum or fiberglass box and sealing it to the hood is pretty simple. Then, run one or two ducts to the front of the car for additional cold air.
Easy to build. But I'm not sure it would make much of a differance. Might not be worth the expense, time, and weight.
