If you are thinking about somehtnig in the 13 to 14x3 range. I would go
with the Mr. Gasket. It has a nice low profile base, and just dents the
hood liner by an eigth of an inch. The base also has the PCV outlet,
kinda tight though. My only recomendation is to find the lowest profile
base; otherwise, you will need to band it up a bit for hood clearance.
Good Luck.
