Default Functional hoods!

What is the difference between Ram Air hoods and Cowl Induction hoods, or are they the same?

Ram air rams air int o youre cold air intake. The cowl hood give incoming air a place to exit in order to keep the engine cooler and to make the truck look cooler.

Ram air is better for performance and gas mileagebut cost a pretty penny cowl just helps keep it running cooler.

cowl looks way better in my opinon too! as long as the raise in the hood isnt riduculously large it looks pretty F***ing bad ***!
