Hey guys, i got the Roush hood scoop..and i want to make it a little functional , has anyone cut a hole in their hood..to let some of that nice cold air in? I figured since i have already drilled 6 holes in to my hood to screw on the hood scoop i might as well cut a hole in it..u know? so i was wondeirng how i should do this,,and if anyone has done it..there are no braces under it..just sheet metal...any ideas how i could cut it out.???

thanks

use a dremel and do so carefully - should be ok

you can do it, its been brought up many times, the only problem is rain, you are going to get it all over your nice hot engine...

a few of us toronto chapter members are trying to see what, if anything, we can do about it, drop by a meet sometime, or send me a PM

how do you plan to get the air to the airbox?

Roush hood scoop? You must mean visteon or kaminari or aerogear.

it's the same... but i think he got it soooo long ago it was acutally made by roush

for now..i just want all the nice cold air to get into that area..later i will figure out how to pipe the cold air there..and i also want the rumble sound of the intake to be heard more outside..and this will increase that sound ...

Be sure to post info and pics if possible. I want to do this before I leave for school as well, and need a little more info on how someone pulls this off. Thanks!

i have been hearing that a dremel tool maynot be able to cut through the metal on the hood..is this true?? what else can i use?

A Sawzall is an all-around good tool - just get the right kind of blade. Sawzall's are handy everywhere for bigger jobs, much like a Dremel tool for smaller jobs. I think Sawzall is the most common method EB owners use to cut their fenders because their relatively cheap and relatively easy to use.

A plasma cutter works the best..
