I would be concerned of hydolocking the engine by allowing water to get past your air filter and entering the air intake.

I'm sure the stock air box has a drain hole to prevent it from filling up with water, but the idea of teh air filter getting wet or soaked everytime water is around scares me.

Edit: I'm sure they designed the hood to have weap holes to allow water to drain out before it would see the air filter, but then you lose the opportunity to create positive pressure on the back side of the throttle body at WOT (along with the hole in the bottom of the stock air box). You have to force in more air than what the engine can suck in as a vacuum to see a performance gain, and I believe this won't occur unless you are at extreme high speeds. The gains you would see would be from the difference in air temperature outside compared the engine bay temperature which is what a cold air intake does. Your mass air flow sensor would detect incoming air temperature and adjust timing accordingly anyways.

 

I haven’t had it out in the rain or washed it yet, but from what I’m told buy the manufacturer water isn’t a problem. Yes there is a hole in the bottom were the filter is. You can go to the site and read all about it. (QUESTION, #4)

that hood looks wicked

 

Everyday I log on and look at the pics of your truck! I simply gotta have that hood!
One question: How much higher is the center of the hood? Does it hinder your "line of sight". I guess that was 2 questions.

thanks,

 

It comes just above the wipers, and it doesn’t hinder your "line of sight" at all.

 

damn i want that hood! just cant justify spending $1,200 for a hood!

 

Asside from looking badass, do you notice any difference in performance? Also, does it change the sound of your intake?

 

The hood looks great. You can send the scoop grill to Paul's Chrome. They are in PA. I've used them for motorcycle parts and they did a good job. They can do plastic parts too.

 

i was thinking of getting the challenger hood ,but after seeing this hood. i think im gonna go with this one . it looks sick

 

DEF. NICE! Can you measure the width of the scoop across the rear? and how high it is? Thanks!
