Mercury Cowl Induction

Q: What is a cowl induction? Why buy one?
A: Cowl induction is a style of intake scoop that was made popular in the muscle car era. Cowl induction is normally available in the form of a custom hood or add-on hood component that provides a large central bulge and an opening to the engine bay at the cowl end of the hood, at the bottom of the windshield. This area has a naturally high pressure due to the windshield, so providing an opening here allows that fresh air to be sucked into the engine bay and into your intake where it can help boost horsepower. In addition to power gains, cowl induction will give your ride a tough new look to let people know that you are serious about your machine. If you are looking for a modification that will boost power and help your car standout from the crowd, cowl induction is it.
