^This. Magnahelics are relatively cheap, and you'll know where the greatest pressure differentials are. There might be details you can't see on the Ion race car, i.e. the hood vents over the wheels might be open to the wheel housing below, as is common on racers. I would be hesitant to copy it without more information.
