saleen heat extractor

[96_SVT_Cobra]

for those that have them or know anything about them, got a few questions as i am prolly getting one for my car in a week or 2. okay so first off are all the heat extractor functional, i found a kaenen brand one, would that be functional right out of the box, does it give a lil more clearance under the hood, and if you have one where did you get yours and how is it holding up? thanks in advance

I dont know.. but you could probably pm dalamar about this, or let him chime in on this page. Only one I know of who has it.

 

[Mustangmaster77]

95opal has one too.

Doesn't Paul have one on his Saleen?

 

[Javi]

it is functional
IIRC cervinis makes one

Doesn't Paul have one on his Saleen?

i dont think is the same thou, but i like Pauls better:

a different hood?

 

[duh09]

I think the one pictured on the other two cars is supposed to be like the 03-04 Cobra hoods, not the Saleen hood. 1LO94 has a Saleen Heat Extractor hood, looking for better pics right now...

 

[Javi]

yeah its an 03-04 cobra hood for 94-98.
i know that

 

[duh09]

In one of his threads, I do believe he said it give a couple inches of clearance, but I'm not positive.

 

[Javi]

I personally called cervinis and they told me the hood i posted above is stock height.

I'm not trying to argue with you, but the OP is asking about the Saleen version of the heat extractor, not the Cervini's. According to 1LO94, the Saleen version does give a couple of inches of underhood clearance.

So just to get the fact straights,
The Cervini's and Saleen are both functional and the Saleen gives some clearance where as the Cervini's is stock height. Just trying to get the facts straight :thumbsup:

 

[Javi]

you are right.
Ima go to bed now, i fail miserably

BTW, I dont argue either
I discuss. ccasion14:

Haha its cool. Its just I was kinda confused because you seemed really intense on a hood that he's not look at. haha Its all good.

I to wanted a oem style saleen heat extractor hood,but if its no diff of height clerance of the stock hood its pointless.

Back when I was looking at them I recall reading that the Saleen hood adds additional height, i want to say half inch or so. could be an inch but i don't honestly remember.

As tiny as those heat extractors are, I doubt it will help anything at all. What does it matter anyway? Are you having cooling issues on the street?

 

[96_SVT_Cobra]

thanx guys for your inputs, i wouldnt need hood pins with them would I? and do you guys like Kaenen brand products, i know that many of you love their spoiler but as far as their hoods go would they be the same in craftsmanship?

no i am not having cooling issues, i was thinking it might help take some of the heat that my vortech and engine make out from under the hood, not to mention it probably would look good.

i like pauls BUT the black car javi posted with the 03/4 wheels looks KILLER for some reason with the hood and termi schweels

 

[OnyxCobra]

Imo the Termy hood doesn't flow well at all with our body style.

Install a Mark 8 fan. It flows something close to 3800 CFM. That should fix up everything.

Heat exactor does not even work until you are up some speed, so that the air can blow out through the radiator, and mostly escape though the hood. On street driving, you will see little to no difference what so ever.

Which hood is this? Saleen or Cervinis? Looks killer! Very sleek yet aggressive. Almost looks stock.
