well if they are functional they create more airflow to help cool your engine but if they are fake they dont do nothing but make your car look stupid, and you will be either called a beaner or a ricer, no offense to any hispanics on here but hispanics in my town dont know **** about fixing a car up lol i seen a camaro that had a universal wing bolted to the factory spoiler lol im like what the hell?

 

The real functional scoops (rksport and suncoast... im sure there are others) divert cold air directly to your intake

 

 

^^sex

 

Thank you sir. +rep for the compliment.

 

No prob... whats hood is that? I'd rep ya back but it wont let me.

 

It's the RKSport fiberglass G5 hood. No problem

 

like this


And here is my SS Hood

 

show off...lol

 

^^^ McDonalds at the end of Rt 40?
p.s. Your car is so sexy
p.p.s Wish I could make that dyno session! Damn higher education

 

I have the Interceptor hood. So it basically is the RK Sports Ram Air hood, but inverted.



Looks like that hood, except in CF.

 

I love donna's car

 

Isn't it GORGEOUS!? I love that video I saw of it awhile back. "Hot ass car" Or something like that. Lol.

 

Very old pic of my car when i first got my hood.... Import Trenz(prototype)

 

Okay, so what good is an inverted scoop? Does that shover air in there? I don't see how. Sorry for being a noob.

 

the same way a cowl induction hood works

 

So I scored a CF SS hood for $300.00 should I go thu with the sale OR get the RK hood?

 

Oh, okay, that explains a lot.

So does it make the engine any better? I mean you don't gain any hp, so what does it do for a 4 banger? I am looking for education because I really don't know.

 

at first glance i thought it was a srt-4 lol....nice hood where did ya get it from

 

wrong

An extractor hood (inverted scoop?) pulls hot air out.... this hood was actully designed really good because its right over the throttlebody/intake pipe, and valve cover area.... Heat builds up under your hood creating a high pressure, and outside of your car is a low pressure...... air always wants to go from high pressure to low pressure to create an equalibreium SP? so the air vents out through the extractor as cool air comes into the grill..... when driving, the rush of air over the extractor pulls more hot as out with it due to a pressure drop also....

hope i helped

p.s. everyone has their own ideas and prefrences... i just feel that an extractor is alot more reasonable in our cars because of how it is designed, unless you get the RK sport scoop.
If your just throwing air into your bay(SS scoop) its going to build up prressure and heat up if anything because it has nowhere to go... mainly it will pack in above the header..... since your gettingplenty of air in through your grill and your cooling fans, the extractor makes more sence because it pulls out the air thats hottest ;leaving u with cooler air..... now the RKS hood dumps right over the intake which makes alot more sence because of a slight ram air effect..... temperatures and "ram air" effects are not going to give you any notacable HP gains but will make your car more efficient

man im tired idk how i typed that rep me? lol

 

hey thats my car lol. and my paint cans sittin on the brick wall!

 

Hey Beck that front tag looks familier.

 

haha, for sure. havnt gotten **** for it yet.

 

Told ya didn't I? I took mine off 3 weeks ago and so far so good. It looks so much better without it.
