I'm leaning toward the Harwood. I looks cool and I've never heard anything bad about them and they've been in every hotrod mag I ever heard of.



COME ON, GIVE ME OPINIONS!!!!

Air Bulldog, it looks awesome and is functional.

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

do they have a website?

 

[Stefan Kondolay]

That one from us body looks sweet. The airbulldog looks great too. But that one from us body is unique. That's a tough choice.

Batmobile???

My wife thinks the ram air hoods look like the bat mobile!!! LMAO



Now I need a little encouragement



I'm still leaning towards the harwood (it's $210 cheaper)



but there's a company that makes a steel cowl induction hood for $399 i just can't find the site tonight.

 

[Steve Roseman]

I don't know how to post a link to another thread, but if you go to the second page of threads in this forum you will see one on ducted hoods. I don't think there is a website for the air bulldog but don't know for sure.

sure thing steve,BRB

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

Read that earlier. . I just forgot.



Thats where I founda couple of the hoods I listed.



Keep it coming... .

Personally, i've always liked these hoods-

They remind me of the old challenger hoods and the price is pretty good.

I do have a web page on a web site www.dieselperformanceofutah.com click on air bulldog.

Andy hows it going?Iwill think about it it seems I know a lot of you guys over there. I am working on a new truck with two hy-35 and that would be a good place to show it off. I;ll let you know the closer it gets.

If I was looking for a hood, just for looks, I would go with the East Coasts Customs one. The high profile scoop would look good with a 24valve Turbo decal on the sides of the scoop.

[Mark_Kendrick]

I knew I should've called the doctor



I like that Idea

Air Bulldog induction hood

IMO, you can't buy a better performing or aesthetically pleasing hood/induction system. I've had nothing but positive comments from people checking out my Air Bulldog hood! Well, there was one snide remark... it came from a jealous NW BOMBer... the one that has the Ram that squats low in the a$$ end... like a turtle taking a sh*t.

 

[EricBu12]

If not looking for ram air, I like the look of the one you had

It looks like the hood of a pontiac Firebird



Also the dominator looks good.

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

The wife speaks up!!

She like thes cowl induction hoods. I do too, I just wonder if this one can be made to function... .

I like this one over the other cowl hoods because of the grooves from the stock hood are still there.



I've never seen a functioning cowl induction hood.



Is it just the back of the hood open. I would think this would just get cold air and not quite the benefit of the ram-air hoods.





Any body know more?

 

[MikeR]

The Air Bulldog hood hood from Doug Hofeldt is by far the most original and awesome hood available for the Ram. Above that, it actually has a funtion for more intake air that the others do not have.



I'm too cheap to just replace a perfectly good body panel, but if I was to replace a damaged hood, I would definitely go with the Air Bulldog.

I called east coast customs about their cowl induction hood, they told me they have a new ram-air hood that does not ship fuctional but is buit to be made that way. It's not on their web site yet. I should get pictures later today.
