i just picked up the K&N zstream top kit with the 14" air filter and base i got the one that is 3 inches high but found out that 4 will fit eh doesn't matter tho anyways so i got it for $130 put it on had to cut the screw for the carb down a bit or else it would have poked a hole in my hood test drove it the cowl induction sounds sick you can hear the air getting sucked in there i love it and i noticed a good gain in power too you get pushed a lot farther back in the seat now im very happy

Cowl hoods kick ass. Opening up the intake definately makes the car sound badass.

i was thinking about getting a functional cowl hood for my car when i got the money.. you guys think it would make that big of a deal on a 3.4?

cowl induction hoods dont work on fuel injected cars. unless its like the tbi of the third gen, where the throttle body is on top of the engine like a carb...

Cowl hoods can work on fuel injected cars just as well are carbed or tbi cars. Besides he has a carb on his camaro.
