Hood scoop

Hood scoop?? Functional or not on a 2017 tacoma sport 4x4. Best cheap upgrades.

 

Trying to get your post count up for those classifieds, I see?

 

Wat

 

Jokes on you, I was joking. Jokeception. A joke within a joke. An inside joke, if you will.

 

The only function it has is it keeps the hood from vibrating.

 

Clearly THIS IS a joke

 

No hood scoop is functional. Top of the hood is negative pressure. That's why hood louvers work to cool. Scoop = Looks, and boy do they look good.

 

1970 GTO Ram Air IV functional hood scoop

 

440 six pack functional hood scoop!

 

Didn't help the current scat packs any. Ram Air is a marketing term, only benefit is maybe cooler intake air. Once heatsink sets in it doesn't matter anyway.

 

Love the Shaker!!!

 

I used to have a better article, but the short of it is with a properly designed scoop, which would look nothing like what you would ever want to have on your truck, at 90mph you would have 1% increase in power, 2% at 158mph, and 3% at 200mph. Article also called it dirty HP because of the lowering of aerodynamics.

Scoop technology is tough.

Sport Scoop is fake as Milli Vanilli, lol.

 

Ram air myth, a good read...

 

Had no idea what you were talking about, had to google Milli Vanilli, that is some funny shit. That's way worse than Ashley Simpson on SNL

 

Cold air pan ..

 

The ones that come on the TRD Sport are non-functional but if you buy the one thru RK Sport Hoods it is functional and made out of fiberglass!
