     @halcy in the cars with large amounts of metal above the hood the sticking up bit is typically a supercharger mounted above the engine along with an air intake, the motor is still under the hood.

     In the case where it's just a scoop in the hood protruding, i've heard it called a "shaker", because of how the scoop shakes when the motor is running.
