scoop direction

[ya it is a classic]

hey guys so i made a cowl(yes homemade, next time ill spend the $120!) anyways so i got bored and wanted to build a scoop for it also. its just goin to be a box pretty much. i put a 4in air cleaner in there. so after i dinked around for about 45 minutes getting my pieces of poster board the right size i saw a square bucket that was THE EXACT SIZE as my scoop mockup. anyways i dont have any metal now anyways so i cut the bucket up and bolted it on. looks kinda cool but im not sure which way to face it. do i put it so the scoop is facing front? or do i flip it around cause i have a functional cowl? does the cowl even do anything? it looks good facing front and thats how i put it but that kinda defeates the purpose of the cowl. becides looking BA! or should just take it off cause the scoop looks kinda funky. (its a bucket!) also its on a 350. ya kinda dumb that i did it but i was bored and wanted to make something. thanks for your input.
