Air (Scoop) delete?
has anyone ever drove without the scoop kind of thing that hooks into the air box of the intake? i was guessing if you drove without one it would just suck up hot air, anyone?

Plenty of people. Anyone that gets an aftermarket intake besides a Joe-Z or F-Sport intake. Of course, you'll probably lose HP but it'll make your car louder. And yes, it just sucks up hot engine compartment air.

Aftermarket cold air intake such as injen, aem, etc (the ones with the cone), require to remove the airbox (maybe the scoop).
The scoop just grabs the cooler air from outside the vehicle and feeds it into the airbox. You will must likely be sucking in warmer air without the scoop.
There's quite a number of members who have the aftermarket intake setup.

removing the scoop will yield 5-10 degrees warmer intake temps even while moving.
At full throttle, IAT's actually increase absent the snorkel. It does let some sound out though, if that's what you're after.
