with the invader hood...when it rains what do u do?

[GTRD02]

okay im about to order the invader hood and where i live it rains alot..quetion is when it rains where does the water go? i leave my car out side so its a problem...when it rains will it mess up my car since the other engine is right there under the vent? should i even worry or what...thanx a lot for the space..

[Blue Bomber]

I don't think it would cause any problems. The vent pretty much opens up to the intake manifold and stock air box (or empty hole if you have a CAI). You won't even have to worry if you have a short ram because there won't even enough water to hydrolock the engine.

i thought it had a rain guard on it?

[GTRD02]

hmm i dunno but i have a injen cai and damn it would suck monkey balls if it messed up my car ya know...

i had the invader hood with the Injen short ram intake and i didn't run into any problems. Just be careful if it downpours- i put some ducktape over the vent if it started pouring out- but even without the tape, it was still fine........

[celictuner]

i have a firned with that hood on an eclipse. We live in AZ and when it pours it f'in purs, and he has never had a problem at all
