Theoretically, yes... They will prevent some air from rising up above the hot heads and headers and venting into the rest of the hood. Them being plastic is of no bearing here since most heat dissipation under the hood is due to air flow.
In practice with the hood closed there is so little airflow in that region so far up that you would never see any measurable difference anyways. I run with mine on because I like the way they look
