FM Extractor hood has been discontinued
 
I called today because I was searching on their site and saw that it wasn't up anymore. I thought it was a good looking hood, so I wonder why it was discontinued. Oh well.

Thought for some reason you guys would like to know.

i didnt think it ever took off to start?

buffon01 12-23-2009 01:47 PM

I like the hood too... Someone should make a replica, if the market demands of course.

Phil has one (levinubhin)

rharris19 12-23-2009 02:38 PM

I have one too, but I am seeling it as it will not fit with the LS1. I thought it was pretty popular.

I have to agree with :brain: They did sell a few of the fiberglass versions, but the carbon version FLOPPED...

I haz one. I should get a copy made since I'm going to hack mine up to fit the 99 motor.

IIRC... The vents weren't really placed in an optimal place to extract heat anyways unfortunately.

Apparently the little air foil on the vents works wonders according to levnubbin and keith@FM.

In for string testing!

hustler 12-23-2009 04:52 PM

I'll go home and stuff my nomex/kevlar banana hammock on the wastegate and see if it gets sucked out the vent.

thagr81 us 12-23-2009 04:57 PM

Post results. Haha!

levnubhin 12-23-2009 06:30 PM

What is the string test? I can do it.

I love the hood, it works and I think it looks great. You just have to be careful with water getting into the spark plugs. I would imagine the carbon hood didn't sell well because iirc it was like $700 + shipping. Then after paint it's over $1000, not many people have a need for a 1k plus hood.
