I am curious to water getting into the engine bay. I am wondering if anyone has this hood and has had the car in the rain and drove in the rain. Did it hurt anything, did it get into intake if you have after market intake?
I would think long and hard about an open element air filter when driving in the rain, you have the potential to suck in a LOT of water. I don't plan to change out the CAI on mine.
you're not gonna suck water through the filter unless it's fully submerged. it's more difficult to pull water through the filter than it is to pull air through it, and as long as there are parts of the element that aren't in water the engine will continue pulling air through there instead of pulling the water through the element.I can see my JLT air filter in the first 2 drivers side louvers. When the car is moving air is coming out, but when standing still the rain will go right on the filter.
a poser hood? :xpl:Shame there isnt a sealed copy of the hood. Kinda like the 2000r hood.
yea call them or e-mail them and they should hook you up no problem.I keep seeing this hood and I want to get one in the future. Tiger Racing seems to only have a FB page that I can find. Do I need to just call them to get a quote?
