what would a fuctional hood scoop do other than increase air flow around the engine.

 

thats all it does, lol, increase airflow around the engine. so you get cooler air for intake temps and your engine stays cooler overall.

 

would it have an increased effect on a cold air intake.

 

Like he just said, colder air around the engine so the CAI draws in cooler air

 

ok

 

FYI hood scoop and CAI will not do anything.. you would want a SRI to get air from a hood scoop as a CAI for our cars are inside the fenders

 

ok thanks bud^^. on cars i aint the brightest, im more of a truck and tractor guy so im still learnin stuff to make it look better and sound better for cars...

 

^^ exactly. A short ram intake would benefit not the CAI because the CAI is in the fender well.

 

honestly idk what a short ram intake is.

 

a short ram intake has the filter in the engine bay, instead of a cold air intake, which has the filter down below the headlight.

 

ya ram intake r stupid. colder air is better for the car so y would you want a filter up on top of the motor?? makes no sense.. cold air sits lower so would you rather have an intake down by the wheel? or would you rather have one on top of the motor where the heat rises to. its just dumb. maybe if you get a hood that directs the air right at the intake but even that is not worth it. colder air lower so get a lower intake. ha simply said

 

if thats the case it sounds like mine has the short ram becuse if i lift my hood its right on top on the left hand side of the engine as you look at it

 

left hand side as in while your looking the motor? do you have an ss? or a base model? the turbos have the intake system on that side and so do the base models i beleive. but yea if you can see the filter than its a ram air.

 

he has a 2.4 ss.

 

Rk sport hood ftw

 

o ok. naturally aspirated ss. gotcha.

 

yes that is correct, as you look at th . i dont think its a true ss but from other cobalts ive seen, its not a total base model

 

Short ram has a sexy sound to it too

 

idk what it sounds like lol i usually have the music to loud

 

Do u even have an aftermarket intake? Or is it just the stock intake your talking bout?

 

its whatever came with the car when i got it

 

can you see the air filter?

 

yes

 

o ok

 

yep. why?
