My cowl induction has airflow INTO the rear of the scoop from the HIGH pressure area created at the base of the windshield. This occurs from the airflow direction change at the base of the screen.

Airflow through the radiator exits the engine bay under the car.

The carburettor breathes COLD air from the entry of air at the rear of the scoop.

If hot engine bay air exits from the rear, then the engine is breathing this hot air.

Try some stands of wool taped to the rear edge to see which way the air flows.

You will see the wool pulled into the scoop.
