Default Will Cowl Hood help Radix Performance?

Or just lower the overall temp under the hood. Besides the cool look, what other benefits do you get from these. I would imagine the Radix would only gain if you had an open element like an K&N FIPK or similar.

At any rate, had hail damage to my hood this past Sunday, so will be getting a new hood. Considering swapping in a cowl, if there is tangible benefits.

Thanks
