Default Strange A/A IC Setup

I came across this dual A/A IC setup that puts the IC's inside the engine bay!

Do you think those IC's will be effective or efficient at all??

Look more show.
Figure the hottest parts are right under the things that are trying to get rid of heat.
What's the hood set up like.

That's about the stupidest thing I have ever seen.I agree with rick has to be for show. Why would you put a air to air under the hood unless it has some sort of ram air hood but even then it can't be that efficient.

It probably does have a ram air hood. Has no one ever seen a WRX?? That's where their intercooler is and why they have the scoop on the hood.

yeah and anybody making any kind of decent power with those cars end up putting a front mount on them because of how crappy the stock location is on those.
