^ Good question. It would really depend on how everything is designed.

From what I understand of Papa Bear's assessment (remember, I've never seen the CAI or SRI), the CAI filter would get wet enough water would pool inside the filter, causing the problems. Being higher up from the ground, the SRI shouldn't get as wet and the water shield should help.

But without seeing the whole set-up (and doing some real-world tests), it's all a guess.

 

Would the Hood scoop have any effect on the SRI regarding water?

 

Guys, Rain may or may not play a role in the intake sucking up water, but what about the rain getting on metal parts under the hood and forming rust... It will happen...

 

Just seems like it's not worth the risk. We dont really see much performance gain from this with the risk of getting water in the engine...

 

Thats what it's starting to look like. I figured it would help since 100 degrees F in the summer isnt uncommon, but it rains A LOT, too.
