A vehicle hood lifter and airbag assembly according to various implementations includes a housing having a first end, a second end, and a wall extending from the first end to the second end. The wall comprises an inner surface and an outer surface and defines a gas exit orifice disposed between the first end and the second end. The vehicle hood lifter and airbag assembly further includes a piston assembly which is slidably engaged with the inner surface. The vehicle hood lifter and airbag assembly further includes a pressurized gas disposed within a gas chamber. Upon actuation, the pressurized gas is released from the gas chamber causing the piston assembly to move from adjacent the first end to adjacent the second end. The pressurized gas then exits the housing through the gas exit orifice and flows into an airbag which is coupled to the outer surface.
