Default Scoop Rear Configuration

This has been an interesting post to be sure! I've seen some hood air scoops which are open on the rear side as well as the front, mostly larger ones customized to accommodate a larger engine setup. I've wondered whether the flow of air thru the scoop would have a chance of setting up a vacuum effect at some speed, potentially robbing the air intake? It's been said to me as well that such a scoop is used to aid in reduction of engine and engine compartment temperatures. Anybody have experience or an opinion?

Thanks!

Dirk
