Between what hoods to get. I have narrowed it down to either the hawks ram air hood, or the hawks 4" cowl hood. I want that aggressive race car look but i also want the underhood clearance for some of my "top secret" plans.


Ram air


4" cowl (no 4" is not to big lol)]

 

and its going on here. I need somethign that will work with the spoielr i have that big race car look i think. I want people to look over at me in traffic and go damn thats sweet.


ANd no i dont liek the ss or big block hood and i dont think a 2 or 3 inch cowl looks right 4" is the height i want if i go cowl.

 

Definitely go with a cowl over the ram air design.... but try and find one without the "rib" down the center.

 

And the cops to say let's grab him. J/K sound like a plan!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Cowl induction!

 

Go cowl, the ram air hood was never ment to be put on a camaro...

 

Although I'm not a fan of cowl hoods, unless they are a reverse cowl, I must say that it would flow nice with that 5" spoiler

Although a Ram Air 2 would really set your car apart from the crowd....

 

Like I said earlier today:

The Ram Air hood was meant to be on Trans Ams and only Trans Ams, NOT Camaros. In other words, anything but the TA Ram Air hood!!!!!!!!!!

 

Go for the Ram Air II, it looks sweet.

 

4" COWL ALL THE WAY!!!!

It would look so awesome with that 5" spoiler :hail:

 

cowl

 

I agree 100%, plus the 4 inch cowl just looks sweet on our cars.

 

i know i know, you said no big block hood but i do think it would look best. if i had to choose i would say cowl though

 

i agree that the cowl would go best with your 5 inch rear spoiler....

 

lol top secret plans, I say go with 4" cowl. I pick almost any hood over Ram air for maros becuase I really, really do not like it.

 

hmmmm i'd go with the 4inch cowl....not that i'd be biased at all though


just so you know....that cowl pic you put up is off the glasstek website.


www.glasstek.com

that's where i got my hood from, they make them in naperville, IL about 35 minutes from my house.

 

ram air.

.. if its functional.

 

i like the ram air , but only on trans ams, so deffy go with the cowl , couldnt he just sand down the ridge that goes down the center.

 

Go with the cowl, that ram air hood belongs on T/A's not Camaro's.

 

go ram air, too many cowls, this gives it something fresh and new

 

I would say cowl, but that 4" looks terrible.

 

ever consider a ram air 1 hood?..with only one inlet in the center..i think they look sweet on camaros

 

Those are made for camaros??

 

I vote for the cowl. I also vote for less than 4", unless you just have to have it to clear your "top secret" plans. I think the 4" look ridiculous.

 

I say go w/ this hood best looking cowl on the market by far!

 

Yup, by far.

 

Is that the cervini's? THe only thing i dont liek about that style is it is too low in the front. I want it to be big from front to back not reall a gradual slope. THeres a dark blue one around town with soemthing extremely simialr and i jsut dont think it gives the look i want.

WEnt to glasstek sure enough that cowl is from them and for 9 whole dollars cheaper lol. THis is what i love though, gonna see if devianb will photoshop it for me when he gets a chance.

 

i have pics on my cardomain site in my sig if you wanna see how it looks....sorry the car is in the garage with bad lettering, but oh well best i can do right now.

 

I vote for the cowl, even though I think 4" is too big unless you need it. I'm more for a lower, sleeker looking cowl like the one maniacc has on his IROC.

 

I didnt even notice you lived in Saudi Aurora hahahah, but seriously i think the cowl is a much better choice, and i believe 4" is the perfect size, mine is from ASCD it's 4 " and dosnt have the gradual slope that your talking about, here's a link to mine:

cow hood, i mean cowl. lol

 

i usually have the same opinion as most people on the boards, and if EVERYBODY was saying not to do something, i probably wouldn't do it if the response was so strong, but i absolutely love the ram air 2 hood, even on camaros. i say definetly go with that if you like it, despite what most people are saying

don't get a plain cowl hood...get something that is more specific to an f-body car...i mean trucks have plain cowls, mustangs have plain cowls...too many people have them. if you do w/ a plain cowl, i'd def. get cervini hardwood over any other one, unless the cost is an issue (dont know their price, but am thinking they're a good bit more expensive than fiberglass)

car that won me over to ram air 2 on camaros:

 

I think these are the best looking.
Wide cowl, only if the under side was like a normal cowl though.

Like this?

 

Dayum! :hail:

 

Go with the RAII

 

Actually the camaro was probably the inventor of the cowl hood so it will be right at home on your car.

 

well MY favorite cowls are the one ES87IROC posted or the wide one jr92z28 posted. id love to have either one of those on my car but since you only gave us two chioces go with the cowl..............defenitly

 

:werd:

4" Cowl = to big unless you have something interesting

R/A Hood = Now that I see it, it does look better on the 'Birds

 

Just out of curiosity how much room is there under the ram air hood. Is it a littl emore than stock height or is it like a full cowl towards hte back side of it. I'm reallly liking that black one that is making me almost lean towards the ram air.

 

i vote for small cowl.
dont think ra2 would go well with the spoiler.

 

Posted in another thread

 

Cervini 3" cowl.

Everyone says the fit and finish on it is top notch, and it is by far the best looking hood out there.

 

Man i see these pics now of the ram air hood and i like it more and more. I think its the way the nose of it lines up with the slope of the front end. YOu can see it in the side pic of that black one.

 

I definatley say go w/ the Cervini 3" cowl. I have heard nothing but good things about them! The fit is supposed to be great!

 

i think with the spoiler you have to go cowl, it wont flow right IMO with that spoiler and a RAII hood, i like the RAII but with that spoiler the lines would be wrong.

 

last pic i got of this car..i came within an inch of buying it, damn, wish i had

 

Ahh, the wheel chair ramp hood... Make your Camaro wheel chair accessible.

Agreed - A low cowl is nice if you like the look, but the 4" and taller cowls look rediculous unless you HAVE to have it to gain clearance for something underneath.

 

I would go with any kind of cowl over the ram air...just does not look right on a Camaro. I actually prefer the stock RS hood over a ram air hood. Just looks funny, with no functional advantage over a cowl.

 

I saw a pic of the ram air form the front and realized there doesnt seem to be any rise in the middle. It appears to be stock or just a little above stock height which won't give me the clearance i want. I htink its gonna be the 4" cowl.
