do yall think this scoop will look good on my 91 firebird.i want to make it fuctional and put a larger air cleaner.the scoop is 37 inches long 29 inches wide and 3 inches tall.anyone know where i can get a smaller one.

 

Isn't that the Vette stingray scoop? There are a few people who have them, and made the functional, as far as looks though, well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

it is the stingray scoop.i could care less about beauty.my car is multi colored.im only concerened with being functional.

 

Here is what it looks like on a camaro (not my car)

 

looks kinda tacky in my opinion.

 

Wow - that looks freakin' TOUGH in my opinion! Kinda gives the Camaro a "throwback" look, reminds me of some of the old "tuner" cars, like Baldwin/Motion/Yenko, etc...

 

yea the one on the camaro is much smaller than the one that i have pictured.

 

Might look better on a civic.

 

I agree with Stevo............why not buy an SS hood if you want a scoop.

 

Here are a few pictures of the scoop on my camaro. Yes, it is functional. Open at both front and rear with 14" open element air cleaner extended into the scoop.

 

^^^that is a sharp/clean looking car u got there alvanwie.....

 

Thanks for the comment. It was a project my son and I completed this summer. We wanted something unique but not to far over the top.

 

I must say, I didn't like the look of that thing on Firebirds, but that thing is schmexy on Camaro's.

 

It's been several years since I've looked at one of their catalogs, but from what I remember, JC Whitney always had a pretty big selection of stand-alone scoops...

 

yea i forgot all about jc whitney.

 

The one on my car came from Unlimited Products. It is the SC-104.

If you are going with an 14" open element air cleaner this would be the size you want.

I think it looks pretty cool myself, especially the example by alvinwie. perhaps a pic of it sitting on or taped to your car would help? it has potential, thats for sure, just make sure it doesn't turn out like my car used to be like; the previous owner put a 4" cowl scoop on (crooked, along with 4 holes from 2 sets of failed hood pins) . I'm still trying to nurse the hood to full health, so make sure you get it right the first time!

 

this is my car.. at certain angles it looks pretty good.. gonna make it a true ram air one day..

 

I second that!

uhh,i dont think an ss hood is made for a firebird.

 

The car 1320_Guy posted is mine. I got the scoop from jc whitney. It was to make due till I had funds for a glass hood. My intake/carb/air cleaner wouldnt fit under stock hood so for the price it's better than just a hole in hood with air cleaner sticking through.

adampousson Mine aint that much smaller than the one you showed. Mine measures 36"L x 24"W x 3" high at front.

Mine was fully fuctional.

Here's some better pics of it after I primed the car, added 91Z rear spolier, and 91 side ground effects.. BTW I just rivited it on, didn't try to mold it in or anything.

Truthfully I liked the looks of the vette stinger scoop better than the cowl. The prob was the scoop I bought was the ABS plastic one and due to flexing hood, and high air speeds running through scoop on top end of track, it cracked in quite a few places.

I was gonna order a "big block" hood from ASCD cause it's in the same style as the vette stringer but it would not have gave me the clearance I needed for my induction system. I e-mailed Rex over at ASCD and asked him, he said the big block hood was only 2" at front and 2.5" at rear. My rivited on one was 3" at front and a reg. air cleaner wing nut rubed against the inside of it, so I had to use a std, reg 1/4" nut rather than the wingnut.

 

I really like the way that looks and I need to remove the piece of **** plastic scoop the last owner put mostly on to my car. Where did you get that and how tall is it?

 

Put an old mailbox on your hood. It can also be functionaland look good.

 

 

That would be horrible, yet i am supprised that i havent seen it b4.

 

ooo, what size of hood is that? that's a bad *** car right there

 

A resurrected topic.

Big front facing functional scoops, depending how they are set-up, also make great scoops for rain water. If making this mod to a daily driver, be sure to keep this in mind.
