I need a cowl hood for my car. I believe a 2" cowl will give my air cleaner the clearance I need, but I also think the 4" cowl looks badass. Anyone have experience with either? I'd like to hear peoples experiences with cowl hoods. Opnions are welcome! It's for my 87 IROC-Z

 

well, to confuse you further,...a lot of 2" hoods measure 3" at the cowl opening, lol. i'm a tall guy and i wouldnt want a 4" if i didnt need it, just because it would be in the way. JMO. but if you like a 4" and it doesnt bother you, go for it. do you happen to have a friend with one that would let you sit in the car? i have a 2" and think its plenty for the street.

 

I see the 3" Harwood bolt on looks great! I would really like to get it, but 573 dollars BEFORE freight cost for the bolt on is just out of my budget :/

 

i run 2.5 inch goodmark, it measures closer to 3 at highest point. ppl complain of not being able to see but i have never had an instance where it blocked my vision. This wasnt at my eye height i am 6-1. i guess if you were short you'd have problems. camaro's were made for cowls!

 

are you wanting fiberglass or steel?
heres a 4", bolt-on, glass hood for $350. i've never used them, but they come to drag strips now and then. if you can wait, and meet them at a track, you can pick it up there and not pay shipping.

maybe somebody on here has one and can give a review?

 

Heres a all steel Goodmark 2in. Cowl that measures 3in. at the vent. The hole is snug around the 14x3in. drop base filter allowing the filter top to pull fresh air directly from the Cowl.

 

yeah i always forge if they call that hood the 2 inch or 2.5 anyway Ronus has the same hood as me. I like it. It is metal which makes it more durable for my daily driver. But I may go fiberglass someday in the future when my car doesnt have to sit in the sun all the time.

 

 

This is a 2" cowl hood I got from Classic Industries. It's a bolt-on steel hood with functioning cowl induction. I got it for $570.00 including shipping from California to North Carolina.

 

Does anyone have any decent picture of a Harwood 3" bolt on?

 

bolt on 3"

going with a 4+ soon

 

I have the bolt on 4" Harwood, Its not hard to see out of but it does take some getting used too. You should know that even though it is a bolt on hood, it needs a lot of trimming to make it fit just right.



The pic from inside is not the greatest

 

Damn! Both your guys cars look super badass! articWhitez that's the Harwood 3"? Thanks for the info datarum. I go to auto tech school where we have a body shop. They should be able to help me fit it.

 

makes me want the 4 inch cowl hood myself now!

This by far, has to be my favorite 2" cowl....Nice even lines all the way back, and doesn't "rake" up by the windshield...Just personal preference...

 

Is that the harwood 3"?

 

I can't decide on a hood, it's stressing me out...

 

no It is goodmark hood same as RON U.s.m.c

 

I think I'm just gonna roll the VFN 4"
