Hi all,
I like the idea/look of a functional hood scoop/scoops. Is there any significant gain from a "ram air" hood (ala cervini) vs a cold air intake (ala K&N) or are they about the same? any loss? Any major headaches from the ram-air set up ie restricted underhood access etc.? (assume for a stock '99 4.6L with cat back exhaust)
Thanks,

they claim a 25 hp gain w/ cervinis ram air hood + air thing, and cold air claims 10-15, so there is likely some increase.

Isn’t the ram-air solution quite a bit more $$$?
