Default Ram air hood

I have been eyeballing the ram air hood that I see that some members have. There is a knockoff on ebay that is not the true ram air hood but just the molded scoop. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The ss style looks great. From what I've read, you may have some fitment issues with the cheaper ones.

X2 on what these guys are saying. When it comes to body parts and fitment issues never try to go cheap. But as for being functional ram air or non-functional.....It really doesn't make jack squat of a difference when you get down to it. If you're getting it for the performance part of it, drop the whole idea and get yourself a cam or some rockers and save some money.

Mod seems to be the best way to go, not that the others are "cheap" but they are made of fiberglass, I challenge anyone to find a fiberglass anything that fits perfect right out of the box. So you will have to get it fitted which then evens out the price in the end.

Basically mpd is the easiest route and seems to have nothing but good results with everyone around here
