    Dane,

    are you worried about any increase in rainwater passing into the intake?

    I don't think that is going to be too much of an issue unless he nose plows into some puddles or a truck decides to use his car to show what a wave looks like hitting a BMW.

    All modern airboxes have water outlets at the bottom of the box to let out large amounts of water. Plus it would take a substantial amount of water to hydrolock an engine. Substantial amount as in more than rainwater (short of possibly a hurricane) can produce. Most water that does get sucked into our airboxes on normal rainy day situations gets vaporized anyway.

    Just my 2 cents


    I really have no idea what I am doing

    Too bad you can't prove these on a dyno unless you were in a NASA Wind Tunnel. I'm sure you'll feel a difference at WOT

    One ride and you'll understand why most rocket scientists are German.

    Totally! Did you keep your stock air box? I wonder if you could feel a difference between the two with the scoops.
