I c, hmm..... does anyone in the fluid group want to help out here????
I would think taking a hose of some kind, and making a bend, not a
crimp, a small bend. Kinda like an elbow type deal, where the corner is
higher than the inlet. Maybe the direction change would grab most of
the water vapor on the bend and gravity would pull it back down or
something???? Either that or run a screen/filter at the inlet. This
should filter out most of the vapor. How well does the K&N work with
moisture, anyone, anyone, Faris, Faris.... I would think the K&N would
filter out huge amounts of moisture???? What happens in the engine bay
when it rains???? I would say water is flying around in all directions
to some degree, right???? The bay is not water tight.... If you have
an open element now, it must be seeing a small amount of water???? What
about ram air hood, huge channels in the rain..... DO most scoops have
filters at the inlet???? I have seen many home made hoods, and what
have yous. Most of them look like rain traps to me, but some are daily
drivers... Can the fluid group give us a bit of help????

I forgot to mention it in my first e-mail, but I'm not
re-routing the stock
filter, I have a big ass K&N cone.

well, yeah it does rain like heck in FL. I don't think I would
re-route
the stock filter to that little whole area.... Sounds like a
pee pee to
me if you do.

Like must of you, I too have removed that piece of
rubber
material that sits
behind the front grill on the passenger side. However, I
was
wondering, if
the air intake is rerouted to the front, to take
advantage of
this new
source of cool air, instead of the wheel well, wont
there be
problems with
water coming in? I know, I know, rain has to be hitting
the
grill almost
horizontally for water to come in there, but is that
something
to worry
about if the air intake is right upfront behind the
grill? I'm
probably just
being paranoid, but in Florida, when it rains it pours?
What do
you guys
think?
On another note, I forget who else was interested in
info about
a billet
grill and billet bumper inserts, but here it goes. My
wife just
bought me
the set from Autoaccessory.com. The grill was $99.95 and
the
bumper insert
was $59.95. I should be getting them sometime this week
or the
beginning of
next week at the latest. It comes with a 30 days money
back
guarantee,
bought I think it will look great. Oh yeah! To quote the
great
Beavis and
Butthead: My wife "KICKS ASS".
