I was thinking a simply "louver" system would work fine. Of course, given the system would pressurize (per se) if the hood vent was closed.
I wish my car was not in the shop...I would monkey around with it and start to prototype something up....just for the hell of it.

Tim,
Ever monkey around with that louver? I may try to apply a flapper...like what's used on an inside/outside exhaust duct on the inside of the airbox, where the hood vent meets the airbox to achieve that "one-way" valve.
Or a rubber plate to cover the hole and have smaller flappers...or louvers...cut into it.
Be good,
TomK
