Ram Air Intake
I cant remember if I have posted this on this site or not, but reguardless I didn't get a very good answer from when I posted it the last time so here it goes.
What do you all think about ram air hoods and intakes. Are they better than CAI's and if so which is a good brand.
Here are several:
Ram Air Hoods

Please let me know if this is a good upgrade. Most of the hood scoops I see people put on are none functional. These are some that are

I am real happy with the hood I bought, it is the G-force power hood from ramairhood.com and it is a functional hood. I am 99% sure it is the same hood Tuscany uses for their FTX. Now, it is made of OEM plastic so it flexes a little with temperature change but it always looks great. However, they only make an intake for the 5.4.

Gotta admit those are some sharp looking hoods. Think the wife will freak if I order one?
Did anyone notice any performance boost over a standard CIA?

For a TRUE pressurized ram air setup, not worth it, risky & tuning will be expensive to correct for it.
Try using advance search for ram+air+intakes - you may not like what you find.... but those are the facts...
