Re: Ram air hood
I like the stock hood or a cowl induction hood better.
Funny story: I have a G8 that has the "ram air" hood. My cat lays on the hood right in front of the openings cause the hot air comes out of there. BTW, On the G8s the inlets actually just let cool air into the engine bay.

Re: Ram air hood
usbody.com has some nice looking ram air fiberglass hoods for our trucks, but are pretty expensive. The one in the pic looks homemade.

Re: Ram air hood
Just for the record, that wasn't a snotty comment. It looks pretty good, but I was just saying that I did not recognize it as anything I have seen for sale. It appears to be steel. Trevor

Re: Ram air hood
I'm not sure if I like it or not, but its certainly not horrible...
BTW, I'd guess it won't be much use for ram air since that area probably is sort of dead air because of the air being deflected by the front of the hood.
