Default Will it work?

Does anyone know or think my WCC Huricane intake carbon fiber cover will work with my twin intercollers from ATI? I not putting the filter in just the outer box to keep it clean. Ideas, thoughts?
Here is a picture of it.

No because the intercoolers run up the middle and the intake to the SC is offset on the drivers side. You could modify that piece to use as a cover for the pipping if you wanted but not for the intake.

Yes, the Tiger Shark will leave large open spots to cool the twin intercoolers and the large front opening in the middle to cool off the DeWitts Alum. Radiator.

maybe I am missing something here about this new part.. but I can tell you that the tiger shark front end will cool the intercoolers very well.. so there will be no need to try and incorporate any added modification from the hood area to try and add to the airflow.

PS. the CF screen unit you sold me did wonders for cooling my intercooler and rad!! The other night while cruising in the cold air, my car was running at 169 deg at the rad and 190 oil temp..

Maybe I can make it more clear. This is WCC air intake setup and the carbon fiber covered it all up. I do not plan on running the intake or vararam setup, just the outer carbon fiber cover to cover the piping in the center.
I am glad the ram air license plate is working for you. I loved the look of it, its very rare and works wonders...Glad you like it.
