Aftermarket engine hood
 

Any aftermarket engine hood builders out there, that someone might know about, that might have examples of Ram front air ducks or heat extraction examples for aftermarket engine hood covers for the 370?

Heat extraction might be interesting, but "ram air" doesn't make much sense. Both the stock and the Stillen Gen 3 intakes suck air from down in front of the radiator, well away from the hood. I guess you could fab up something to do cold air via the hood, but it doesn't sound worth it performance-wise. Stillen's Gen 3 gets nearly ambient temperature intake air moving at any reasonable street speed without any body mods.

Mine's apparently makes a set of front scoops that go in the top of the bumper as a opposed to the hood, but again, I don't see much point other than fashion.

I am just not a bid fan of the GEN 3 intake.

Requires cutting to make fit. I would getted worried in heavy rains.

But thanks for your observation.

Heat extraction down here might be on option, not sure yet. I'll keep looking around.

Seibon is making one, didnt they ask for some Z's to come test fit and no one really replied to the thread....oh well

Rain is *not* going to be an issue with the Stillen Gen 3 intakes. This has been repeatedly confirmed by Stillen and by those of us who have seen it installed. I was "lucky" enough to get some real-world testing of this recently too: http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...html#post64391

Also, the cutting isn't major. It's just slightly enlarging the two holes that already exist for your stock intake, to make them ~5-10% wider so the Gen 3 intake tube can fit through them.

Mines got a jump start on heat extraction and additional air flow under the hood with their intake scoops; which has proven quite functional so far. Based on the designs, I imagine that these intake scoops would work well with the Gen 3 intakes.

The Gen 3 is awesome. And When I installed my oil cooler it was pouring rain that day. Took off the bumper and the filters were totally dry. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the feedback.

that price is ridic

$1147.50 ???????????????

:eek2:

Were working on a 6 vent hood. 3 on each side. We will also have CF hoods ready to order by the end of this or next week.

These are also 1000 $ for a pair :icon23:

Oh?

This is the prototype.

that $1000+ air scoop is just for the cutouts themselves, not even an intake? good god
