I'm starting to think you are taking the cowl induction thing a little to far. There has got to be a reason why car manufactures don't use cowl induction any more. They always use an inlet at the front of the car to get the ram air effect. Corvette, Viper, SLR all use a ram air inlet at the front of the car. Its 2008 not 1968. The reason NASCAR still does it is because it is a rule not because its the most efficient means of sucking in air.

Keep in mind that there is alot of "Dirty Air" at the front of most automobiles. Most Manufactures use the very front of autos due to packaging reasons. Example
pen the hood of most newer cars including your civic and you'll notice that a good portion of your engine is pushed back into the cowl area. Now look at a 94 Integra and look where the engine is. Most manufacturers have $$ in mind when they build cars and are willing to cut corners to keep the cost down.
