I think you'll really like Glass-tek's cowl, I like it better than others I've seen, mostly how natural it looks on the car as they gradually bring in the cowl from the very front of the hood, I see others that don't start until 6 to 9 inches in and the ramp up real steep and I don't like those.
FYI, mine is a 4 3/4 not a 4. The didn't make a 4 when I bought mine and the next step was 6 and I thought that would be too much. But with my 3" air cleaner it just rubs on the bottom of the hood.

Hello everyone,
I just want to say thank you for all your opinions! I ended up going with a 4" cowl from glasstek. It's the same as Wade Metzingers.
It's not a big deal if it doesnt turn out the way I'd like it to because I still have the hood scoop to go back to.
Hope you don't mind me asking but, How much did it end up being? including shipping etc. You can PM me if you want, I am going to get a 6" cowl for the Challenger soon.

Mine has the extended 6" cowl scoop from glasstek and it fits the lines of the car nicely. I originally bought the 8" scoop and it didn't look right (See DT's pic), mostly because of the ramp in the front. Also, with the 8" I wouldn't have been able to see the bottom of the tree in the left lane. The 6" starts at the front of the hood, the rise looks right, and there is enough room for a TR too. Good Luck
That's the one I ended up getting. It's defintly a long cowl.

Bucket seats did come from the factory in Mopars. Cowl hoods never did.
close minded people like yourself is what ruins the mopar world

I had an areo scoop and switched to a cowl because of class rules. Because I have a sheetmetal intake an 8"cowl was the only one that would fit.I didn't want it at first because its hard to see the tree in the left lane, but it gets a lot of attention on a yellow duster and I'm getting used to it now! I just bought the harwood scoop and my brother molded and painted it. Much cheaper than buying a complete hood.the cowl would look good on your car.
