Default If you have a After Market Ramair hood come in here

So im thinking of buying this hood for my wifes car for her Bday.

The question I have is,

I want to get the holes cut open to allow more air to come in but I dont want my engine getting all dirty

I have the SLP HO Ram air on mine. It is functional (with baffles.) It's pretty unrestrictive. I would not cut them out though. TOO
MUCH WATER AND DIRT.

This is the hood that you posted on my car. I have the holes cut out it's not a daily driver because you can't drive in the rain with out the rain guards.

oh..i ment the stock hood latch and hinges fit..

i dont recommend cutting it open. they dont suck air in through the hood. they get the air from the bottom.

If you cut it out and want it to be functional you will need to come up with a custom way to seal it and be able to run a filter. It will suck in ALOT of dirt/bugs/etc. A stock ws6 setup would work but it wouldn't seal to it..and there are no rain baffles at all so forget that.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have done it, but according to this..

the scoops on the hood do nothing,their just there for looks.

Just get something to seal the hood to your airbox. no worries about dirt except in the air filter.

I got a Harwood hood. It pokes up a little over the passenger headlight, and a little near the windshield on driver side. Nonetheless, I love it.

I have one that looks really similar to that, from sunco.

If you have no intentions of putting a ram air intake on it, don't bother cutting open the holes, as someone said, the stock intake won't be affected.

However, there is an air box assembly that I've seen sold a couple of places that would make it absolutely functional. Send me a PM if you are interested and I could find the site for you.
