Default Functional Ram Air Hood?

Anyone have one? Pics? I haven't ordered the CAI yet, and want to get opinions on a good hood and CAI setup.

Fang has a mach1 shaker hood for our cars. No performance gains on these, but they look cool.

Heres the only ram air intake I know of for the 2005-2006 Mustang And heres two ram air hoods that you can probably use with the intake to get more air in.

INTAKE HERE: http://www.wmsracing.com/wmsweb/05hvi.htm

HOODS HERE: http://www.lmperformance.com/5325/73.html

Here's a website with lots of functional hoods and even the Elanor hood.

Tanks guys... I guess I'll have to prioritize my mods. Otherwise I should have just bought a GT.

The air box is in such an awkward location that it doesn't lend itself well to "ram air" hoods. The airbox would need to be behind the inlets to get true ram air. A lot of the hoods do allow fresh air to get to the intake and there is some benefit to that, but it's not the same as the old days where air was forced through the inlets straight into the carb.

Do you guys think that the WMS intake would work with the Fang Mystery 8 hood and front end? It looks like the scoops are far enough forward that it may line up....and I think that front end is incredible!
