functional Hood Scoops

Today, while searching Ebay, I found a person selling functional hood scoops for my car. He wants $75 dollars for the two of them. A video show looks very easy to apply them. I just don't know if rain will come in through the scoops if they are functional. Does anyone have these and if so, what happens when it rains? If enough people say it is not good, I will not purchase them. I am still looking for a Handle for the shifter that is chrome and does not cost $120 to get. There has to be chrome ones that say Mopar or Dodge on them and cost less than an insane price of $120 or less.

Thanks,

The R/T Classic and the SRT come from the factory with functional hood scoops. No problem with the rain.

 

Thanks Jim.
I wasn't sure if the rain got inside. Remember, I am in SW Florida. And when it rains here, it pours. In one rainstorm, we had 9.5 inches of rain. How is that for rain? I try not to go out if the rain is forecasted. Thanks for your input! Have a great week!

you'll be fine with regards to water issues.

 

by hood scoops do you mean the ones on the R/T and SRT or is this a different hood or just a functional piece that you mount? I know the water shouldn't matter but I am getting the Cervini Hood which makes the R/T fully functional supposedly I too would worry if any rain water got trapped in the system and made a mess.

 

This one?

 

Yup its supposed to be on the front porch right now yes!

 

No,
It just take the place of the stock ones and fits through the two holes under the hood. It really make the car cooler up to 10%. It comes with a temp guage and you can check the temp from in the engine compartment. As long as the rain isn't going to effect it, I think I am going to get them!

No. They are designed for the S/E, R/T and SRT8. It is cool looking. Read my above comments

Seadoofree,

You are talking about something like the below, correct?

Or something different?

 

Yes Jim,
That is exactly what I want to order for my car. Based on all the comments, I guess there are no issues with rain. Want to add more to "Christine" and have her stand out more everyday! I always get "thumbs-up" when I drive it anywhere in this large city. All the stinkin rice burners still want to race me and I am getting closer to adding a little secret for them. The car might say 3.5 High Output on the decals, but there might be something else under the hood. (Wahooo!)

 

same here except for the swamp part. even when getting a bath unless you direct stream in, then it just a slight splash that can be wiped away.

 

I have been back and forth on doing this mod since day one.

 

Got 'em and no problems here.

 

I have the classic and no water problems plus I like the added intake sound you get from them

 

thanks for the post. what do you mean by getting the sound of the air as it passes through? How...please explain...

Like how when you open the hood, you can hear the engine better. With the functional scoops, you have two openings for the sound to come through.

 

if you start it key less, you can hear it suck air right before the engine goes on its kind of sweet, cant wait to hear the ram air.

 

think about flipping the breather cover upside down on moms two barrel to make it sound like a four lol. Am I telling my age?
