Has anyone installed functional hood scoops on the SXT or the R/T hood on their 2015 or 2016. I did see some older posts on older cars about it, but nothing for newer models.
Steve White parts shows part #s 55399338AB and 55399339AB about $47 each.

The two scoops for 2015-2016 hoods are functional, in as far as they are partially open in the back of each. You will see small slots in the under hood insulation mat which corresponds to the opening in the back of the scoops.
It was some earlier years that were not always open, but can be replaced with versions that are. Pre-2015 scoop inserts will not fit the last two years model however, they are not the same despite similar/same part numbers.

That's what I was curious about... Steve Whites search for 2016 model SXT hood gave the part# in my OP. Happens to be the same part# as 09 - 14. So now I'm more confused.

The part# for the 09-14 hood is 68044225AC the hood for 15-16 is part# 68259670AA, but both show the functional scope to be #55399339AB & #55399338AB.

Looked this AM and my 16 SXT+ does appear to have functional scoops. The outer 1/3 of the scoops are open. I'll try to get a daylight picture later.

Not the best picts, but notice how the scoop transitions from closed to open. Pics are drivers side, closed end is toward middle of hood, and is completely open toward the fender end. Ports under hood about 4" long.
