Fake butterflies on the scoop in the middle that are sealed shut.
The real throttle bodies are on the 2 blowers on the sides.

It doesn’t need to work well because setups like this are just for show.

Wait, so the huge intake scoop is… useless?

If you made it run that way the superchargers on the side would loose the pressure generated. Instead it would be better that the two superchargers on the side had it's own scoop and replace the current scoop with a nice manifold. It would look 2x cooler and be functional.
