I like the extra exit area, although it is in a somewhat high-pressure zone. Also, there is probably less restriction with the large, rough passage around the engine than in a small, rough dryer hose, or bunch of hoses. It would probably pay to add some fairing where the hood used to be, to make a smooth tapered passage to the exit slot.

Obviously (to you and I, maybe not to other people) the intention here is for high speed venting, where the front of the car would be higher pressure than the cowl area.

Reportedly, it works. I've never tried it myself.
