67 - 79 F100 hoods.
The F100 drop-in heat extractors are designed to be a cost-effective option to help builders achieve performance enhancements without the cost of a full composite hood.
What exactly does a heat extractor do? Well… a lot of little tricks:
Reduce under-hood high pressure - The faster you drive, the more air entering the radiator opening gets pushed into the engine bay causing a buildup of high-pressure. With heat extractors, some of that high-pressure now has a path to evacuate. The design of a heat extractor causes a low pressure (vacuum) over the top of the panel that sucks air out of the engine bay. The faster you go, the better it works.
Reduce under-hood temps - Under-hood hot air evacuates out of the extractor openings reducing temperatures in the engine bay. THIS SHOULD NOT BE YOUR SOLUTION FOR A FAULTY COOLING SYSTEM. If your engine is not properly cooling, we recommend you spend your money on fixing the cooling system instead.
Weight Savings - How much? Well, that all depends on your individual setup but its easy math that cutting two large pieces of metal out and replacing with light weight composite extractors shaves some weight off.
Increase front end down-force - Part of the design of a functional heat extractor is to move the high pressure air out of the engine bay which pushes down on the extractor panels as the air evacuates creating down-force. Don’t get us wrong, this shouldn’t be what solves all of your aero dreams on your ride but it will get you one step closer.
Options
Carbon Fiber - High Gloss - High-end custom woven 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber finished in a high-gloss automotive clear coat. If you are looking for the most eye-popping shiny carbon fiber, this is the option for you.
Carbon Fiber - Low Gloss - High-end custom woven 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber finished in a low-gloss (also referred to as satin or ‘dry carbon’) automotive clear coat. Understated and sophisticated. Use this option for interior pieces or as a contrast on exterior pieces where you want a subtle look.
Fiberglass - Gelcoat top finish - If you plan to paint your part, and don’t need carbon fiber, this is the option you want.
Installation Notes
Under-hood bracing will need to be removed in order to install heat extractors. Yes, it’ll be some ugly cutting but hey… that’s hot rodding!
Attachment hardware consists of bonded studs to the bottom side of the extractor panel.
To install you will need to measure, mark, pray and cut two holes in your hood to allow the extractors to fit.
Extractors DO come with extractor holes cut but DO NOT come with mesh grill inserts for extractor holes.
Lead Time on Orders
Please allow 6 - 8 weeks for delivery. (these take a while to perfect)
Is this some crappy part made overseas which makes the profit margins really high?…. NOPE. USA made and that aint changing any time soon.
