which hood is better?!

[baller1svtcobra]

Me personally I love my 03/04 Hood and it looks amazing with our front bumpers. The gap isn't as bad as everyone plays it out to be. I never notice it and others don't either because they don't know what they are looking for. 03/04 Hood gets my vote.

where did u get ur hood from? looks pretty freakin awesome man... were hood pins necessary?

Thanks man and I found it on Craigslist for $350 close to home. It was a steal on a new hood and it is a 04 Hood, still has the stickers on it and all (emissions and what not) It is a stock part so hood pins are NOT needed unless you want them.

Out of all three hoods the cowl hood is the least functional of them all on a fuel injected car.

I realize putting a new hood on a car is mostly for looks but this thread is about which hood is better and no hood gets a free pass.

Bought my car with a real '03 cobra hood

Sold it, and bought the cerivinis. It bugged me.

Yeah, sure, it's such crap to suggest a hood that is vented right above the hot engine is going to do such a poor job of being functional.

Put your hand on your intake.

Now put your hand on your radiator.


Let us know which hurts the most, and you'll quickly see which area of the engine bay is best to vent.

You mean that nice hot supercharger up there?

That clears it up.

Ok, how about this: datalog your IAT2, and your ECT. Which is higher?

Meh, its like trying to explain to a civic owner that the wing on the back of the car hurts the performance of his fwd car.

They look at you with their fast and furious stare and then proceed to spew bullshit to tell you how it does work.

Its momentarily entertaining but I have better things to do.

can't go wrong with a 3" cowl hood either (heat extracted out the rear).

It doesnt matter where he purchased the hood, its his bass ackwards thoughts and shitty disposition after he was corrected that are the main points of this discussion

Hood pins suck. Despite being just a mustang, put something on the car that camaro joe down the street has never seen before.

this^
and really like this car.....well done :beer:

Actually, air is pushed in at the cowl area. That's why they're called cowl INDUCTION hoods.

 

['03snkbt]

this i know, but some of these hoods are "blocked off" in the rear!!!

 

[baller1svtcobra]

my car is a DD.. that being said, heat extraction is not my main concern. im just in it for the looks guys!

 

[99COBRA2881]

For the question asked, "which hood is better?" You definitely got your moneys worth!! :beer:

The cowl is a high pressure area, no air comes out, only in. Look where nascar has the intake for the carb ducted from...theres a reason for this.

EDIT: Reading my comment it almost sounds like I'm arguing with you, but I'm in support of your comment...time for bed haha.
