Hey guys/gals, just looking for some answers with the SRT 10 (OEM Mopar Power Bulge) hood. To anyone who has one what I would like to know is, is there a way to make this thing fully functional? I understand it is semi functional as it is with the fresh air entering the engine compartment, but I would like to make it a RAM AIR system and at the same time prevent so much water from getting into the engine compartment.
I was also wondering if anyone has changed the plastic insert grill to something a little nicer looking? If so what did you use? As always your input is very appreciated. Here is a picture of my hood at the link below.

Water in the engine....sounds dangerous, you should take it off, put your stocker back on and give it to me

 

I have seen ppl put the gutter guard in there. It looks pretty good. There is also a billet insert you can get i believe.

 

Watch craigslist in your area for a SRT hood. Thats how and where I found mine at

 

Weedahoe, I got mine already and it is painted and installed man. I am looking to make it fully functional Ram Air if possible and improve the front grill insert as the stock SRT plastic insert is pretty lame looking. Your truck looks bad a$$ man. Also any ideas to keep the rain down to a minimum would be nice as I currently have a CAI in there and am afraid it will suck to much water.

 

They make different SRT hood grill inserts. Ive got one I bought some time back but still need to put on.

If you are worried about a little water then either block it off or change CAI's. I have never heard of anyone saying they got water or snow in their SRT hood grill though. Some say it pushed hot air out but I find that really hard to believe

 

i have had mine for a while. water doesnt get in the engine. even when i wash it...

oh and the ram air is useless. it is designed to push hot air out not bring cold air in...

 

Hey weeds, could you take a look at the photo's I attached here and tell me if this is how your hood looks underneath? I am wondering if the dealership that did the work forgot to install something? I don't see how a ton of rain wouldn't enter this engine compartment. I am only worried about water getting into the intake. Yes I have been considering a different CAI also or going back to my factory set up, I just don't want to suck any water into the motor if you know what I mean. I also included a shot of my CAI set up. Again any advice is appreciated, thanks man.

nope thats right. looks like mine...

 

volant makes a kit that turns that hood into a ram air system. its pricey though.
