This might be a stupid question and i'm probably just being dumb for asking this. But if i install an air scoop like this one http://www.modernparts.com/aspx/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=4331and have it coming through the hood. If i were to drive it while it rainned would it cause any problems? Or is it nothing to worrie about at all? Because sometimes the rain here just comes without any say in the Spring/Summer lol!
Usually theyll have filters inside. I actually asked this very same question when i first joined the forum. And Lonny have me a great answer, too bad that he doesnt come on the board anymore. I cant even remember what his answer was haha.
Lol glad i'm not the only one! I was thinking too that because of the filter it should be fine? I don't see too much water entering through the passages eh?
I also found this thread using the "search" function on the top bar : http://www.maverick.to/mmb/showthread.php?t=51185
Perfect man thanks for the links. And that was just for a visual so i could make sure everyone knew exactly what i was talking about. I will be using it only on the streets for a summer cruiser.
try this web site http://www.outerwearsracing.com/ i have never tried one of these but i have seen guys used them to weather proof their RC cars and stuff
As long as the filter is not restrictive it should be OK. I prefer to keep everything under the hood but that is a personal choice. I would think that a cool air package (sometimes referred to as "ram air") would provide more power and as large a filter as you can keep under your hood won't be restrictive at all.
