Make Hood Scoop on 2011 Ram Functional

[Newfie Ram]

just installed a Mopar CAI system and wondering if any one knows how to make the hood functional

Welcome to RF.

No, unfortunately there is no way to make it fully functional to the intake. I've spent many hours trying to figure out a way (and I know someone else who has as well), but Ram just didn't design it to be useful other than looks.

This is the reason i didnt put the hood in my express. Now i want the srt 392 hemi hood.

Yep, I went through the same disappointment about a year ago when I finally gave up on the idea. Cool hood....BAD design.

matt and JJ...do you know how well it actually functions? Just wondering because i remember reading a lot how the srt hood wasn't worth making functional because the turbulence or friction across the opening prevented it from bringing in any worthwhile amounts of air.

well, the SRT 10 hood wasn't running a CAI that fed off it.

On my setup, I have the hood, APM air box (which sits on top of the factory one, uses an AFE filter), then I have a Legmaker LMI tube to a ported trottle body. Trust me.........I feel quite a difference from all of that.

is that cai specially designed for the hood, or would the hood work with my vavaram?

 

[0212353]

its designed for the hood.

 

[09SMOKINHEMI]

Damn! I was hoping it would work for the vavaram
