Can someone with an FEED vented hood on an FD do an experiment for me?

I'm trying to figure out if the FEED vents actually ack as vents. I need someone to tape small peices of yarn (clear Scotch tape is fine and the yarn only needs to be about 3 inches long) to the vents and see if the vents actually pull air out of the engine bay. It will be really awesome if someone could get some video at different speeds but I know that asking alot. A simple Yes or No is all I really need.

Thanks in advance

The vents are in a high pressure area, which leads me to speculate their true venting capabilities.

I see your concern, I bought my FEED hood mostly for aesthetics.

My car doesn't run, but it will be on a running FD soon, I'll place wool tufts and take video.
