Functional hood scoops on 2017

Deltapapa · Apr 24, 2017

Hello, I just bought a 2017 Ram 1500 Sport with the hood scoops. I want to make them functional. I searched the Forum but could not find the answer I wanted. " How do you make the scoops functional"???

2 options. Custom built or the factory intake that connects to the passenger side scoop. Someone will have to chime in with the info for where to find it.

You beat me...

I think that I've read on here that its pointless to do this because the shape of the hood and truck creates a "negative air flow" at the scoops and you don't actually get air flow into the engine bay. It may let some engine bay heat escape at best.

Add a catch can for real horsepower!

Catch Cans allow you to fully insert head in sand and visualize 'whirled peas'

Have a used Mopar CAI in the for sale section that you'll need as the base for the linked kit above. Makes the mod a bit cheaper

I've seen and discussed this multiple times. The guy that keep saying this was basing his facts off a project he did like in the 60s on his car. With modern day technology and aerodynamics, there's no comparison. This probably was true a few decades ago, but not the case these days. The only time this will have 'negative air flow' and dissipate heat is at a red light or stand still traffic. There's a few reviews on a Rebel forum that I've read and from the reviews the additional scoop in the hood made a difference.

Quick google search, some of the first things that popped up. I'm sure there's more.

If you have a giant fan, I'll be more than willing to ship you a couple bags of flour. Setup the camera, spray the car down, setup the fan, and dump a couple bags Infront! :party36:

I can't believe that no one has mentioned stickers, depending on the size of the sticker one could expect to see anywhere from 2-50hp++
