Default Cowl induction hoods

Do cowl hoods give any extra underhood clearance?I may be looking for a couple inches more clearance.

Assuming it doesn't have a heat-shield it should give you a couple more inches of clearance

My Goodmark doesn't. It uses the factory underhood liner. I can't speak for any of the others.

Thanks, I'm pretty well done with all of the bling and A/V mods. So now It's time to make it run a little.
