Overview
The Amerihood Type-E Functional Ram Air Hood is a high-quality aftermarket upgrade designed specifically for the 2005 to 2010 Chrysler 300. This hood replaces the factory unit with a functional ram air system that channels cold, dense outside air directly into your engine bay. It is an ideal choice for enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle’s performance and engine efficiency by improving airflow and complementing popular performance air intake systems from brands like Airaid and K&N.
Beyond performance benefits, this hood offers a sleek, aggressive appearance that elevates the Chrysler 300’s styling while maintaining a factory-like fit and finish. It is perfect for drivers who want a combination of form and function without compromising on quality or installation ease.
Key Features
The Amerihood Type-E Functional Ram Air Hood is engineered with attention to detail and practical features that make it a standout upgrade:
- Functional ram air tunnel built into the hood to direct cold intake air efficiently
- Hand-laid high-quality fiberglass and resin construction for durability and lightweight strength
- Gel coat finish on both the top and underside for easier paint preparation and a professional finish
- Utilizes factory hinges and striker for straightforward installation and secure fitment
- Includes aluminum wire mesh grill inserts where applicable to protect the intake opening
- Designed to work seamlessly with major aftermarket air intake systems such as Airaid and K&N
- No additional charges for the integrated ram air tunnel—fully functional out of the box
- Requires hand-finishing for paint prep and fitment to ensure a perfect custom look
Construction & Design
This hood is crafted using hand-laid fiberglass and resin, providing a strong yet lightweight alternative to the factory steel hood. The gel coat finish applied to both the exterior and interior surfaces simplifies the painting process and reduces prep time, allowing for a smooth, high-quality finish. The integrated ram air tunnel is molded directly into the hood design, ensuring optimal airflow without the need for additional modifications or add-ons.
Amerihood’s design maintains compatibility with the original factory hinges and latch system, preserving the Chrysler 300’s factory alignment and ease of use. The inclusion of aluminum wire mesh inserts protects the intake area from debris while maintaining airflow efficiency.
Performance & Sound
By channeling cooler, denser air directly into the engine bay, the Amerihood Type-E Functional Ram Air Hood supports improved combustion efficiency and potential performance gains when paired with compatible aftermarket intake systems. While this hood does not alter exhaust sound, the enhanced airflow can contribute to a more responsive throttle feel and optimized engine performance under demanding conditions.
Installation & Fitment
The hood is designed to fit 2005 through 2010 Chrysler 300 models using the factory hinge and latch points, making installation more straightforward than many aftermarket hoods. However, it is important to note that this is not a simple bolt-on replacement. The hood requires careful dry fitting prior to any painting or finishing work to ensure proper alignment and fitment. Hand-finishing is necessary to achieve a flawless paint prep and seamless integration with the vehicle’s body lines.
