Ok guys first off as you probably know I have a 2002 Trans am. Its been driving me crazy not to have the Ram Air hood. I finally have the money and the individual to help put it on. I have looked at multiple sites like ebay, amazon, Car ID, etc... Ive been reading reviews like crazy on certain ones, My decisions keep getting mixed up by other people on forums and people in general. My friends on here I feel like know more on this subject, than others. I do know that an OEM is the best solution but I cant spend that kind of money on a ram air hood. So im going with an aftermarket.

What is the best brand to go with on the aftermarket side of hoods. WS6 or the WS9 which ever that brand makes. I have around 600-750 after shipping to spend!

 

I know this should go under forced induction forum but I seem to get faster responses hear!

 

I would have put it in the appearance-detailing section.
VFN makes a good hood that will fit within your budget.

omg...

 

LOL Mark.

 

Make sure you get the ram air hood with t4 flanges.

 

My ram air didn't come with any pipe or clamps for the hot side, watch out for shady sellers.

 

Forced induction...... lol

 

Amen. Every time I think the net IQ on here couldn't get any lower, a newbie signs on and drops the bar even further.

 

Since LS1 appeared in late 96 a few years have passed by. LS1 ponies are cheaper which makes them affordable to the younger crowd. The younger crowd is more gullible and having little experience develop trends and net beliefs.
What I find bothersome is how unorganized youth tends to be and everyone now thinks that 500rwhp in a LS1 car is 'easy' to achieve.
Guess we just have to be a bit patient, sometimes even that gets hard.

 

Well said sir! ...
