No, not at all. It has air inducing effects. As stated before, Hondas do this to get fresh air to their ITBs since the intake manifold is towards the rear of the engine back. The differences in pressure causes air to enter the engine bay. The only time you'll really vent air is at a standstill. It's mostly for show on anything other than an ITBed Honda, which I think looks horrid.
