Aftermarket Racing Hood Scoops

Hood vents fall under Aftermarket Racing Hood Scoops that improve cooling on muscle cars. Functional versions feed cold air to the engine bay while cosmetic options enhance styling during installation.

 

Scoop designs let you choose between aggressive cowl styles or classic shaker setups, depending on whether you want an in-your-face look or old-school muscle car character. You’ll also see different material options, with fiberglass keeping things affordable and carbon fiber offering lighter weight benefits if performance and racing are part of your goals.

 

Hood scoops add aggressive styling that makes your muscle car look far more purposeful and intimidating, but only functional designs actually boost performance by feeding cold air to the intake or letting hot engine bay air escape through top-mounted vents. Because installation usually means cutting into the factory hood, it’s a permanent move, so you need to be fully committed to the look before taking a saw to perfectly good sheet metal that can’t easily be undone. To explore your options, complete exterior mods at Exterior Mods for Muscle Cars show everything available, complete hoods from Aftermarket Hoods & Hood Accessories come pre-cut for scoops, or you can see what’s proven at Most Popular where buyers vote with their wallets.

Aftermarket Racing Hood Scoops

Muscle Car Hood Scoops Explained

Does your muscle car come with hood scoops from the factory? These allow more air to enter the car engine bay, which helps you keep things cool. What's more, some Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers that feature superchargers or bigger V8 engines may come with an OEM hood scoop designed to allow more space for superchargers, turbochargers, and other high-performance bolt-ons.

 

Typically, muscle car hood scoops are small openings in the car’s hood, but depending on the model, the scoops may be bigger. In fact, some OEM hood scoops aren't functional and are there more or less for show. Whether you want to improve performance by keeping the engine cool or you just want your muscle car to look a little bit meaner, hood scoops are always a good direction to go in.

Aftermarket Hood Scoops

If your muscle car didn't come with a hood scoop from the factory, don't worry, we’ll help you change that. Aftermarket hood scoops are available in many different sizes, price ranges, and styles, so the sky’s the limit. If you're just going for style and don't need any extra cooling, simple aftermarket hood scoops that don't require you to cut open the hood are available and they won't tank the car’s value either. In fact, you can even opt for new hoods that come with scoops and skip all that mounting work.

 

Aftermarket muscle car hood scoops will also add a lot of style. Options are available in your muscle car’s OEM paint color or you can be creative and match a black scoop with your racing red paint job.

Performance Hood Scoops

We love hood scoops that offer style points, but that's not your only option. If you’re installing a supercharger on your V6 Mustang, for example, you’re going to have to make some room for it, especially if it's a roots-style supercharger that mounts on top of the engine. In these cases, you'll need a performance hood scoop that cuts open a portion of the good to give you more room, or you can opt for a hood that comes with one.

 

Getting more performance out of your V8 can also be as simple as installing a hood scoop. With racing hood scoops, you can get more cool air into the engine bay and even help some of that hot air escape. At the end of the day, whether you need a hood scoop to turn heads at your local Cars & Coffee or you’re planning on making room for a Whipple supercharger, you've come to the right place.
