Their website only has one picture and it looks like the scoop gets wider as it goes back towards the windshield. Does anyone have one of these that can tell me for sure the width of the scoop, front and back? And how far over the cowl does it hang? FWIW, I need a Duster one. Not sure if B or E body scoops would be the same dimension? Thanks in advance for any help!

I run one in my truck. I think it is a decent product and has not caused me any problems. My paint guy said it needed minimal prep. Tom

In terms of it actually working to force air into the carb, aren't they pretty much useless unless they are within an inch or so of the windshield glass? From the looks of it, most cowl scoops don't really do that, so where's the benefit - underhood clearance?
Not to rain in anyone's parade, but I could never see the growing fascination with these things. Forget about them looking out of place on a Mopar - most don't appear to provide anything but carb underhood clearance unless they are specifically designed for a particular cowl area, and from the look of it, most aren't - they stop right at the rear hood opening, which on a typical A or B body is a few inches shy of where it needs to be.
I know the typical Mopar styled offerings have their shortcomings but at least they do ram some air down the carb.
I personally think they look great on Mopars, and some of us can't run a forward facing scoop. But then again what do I know. Steve

They do need to be close to the windshield to work though. Mine works. CHIP
