Hi.

I was wondering what are some of the issues with open hoods, like vented and scooped ones.

I know its a good thing to get the hot air out of there and get cooler air inside. But what about all the water and stuff that gets inside the engine bay?

Water defenately isn't good in the engine bay....

 

ya i was thinking this as well, cuzz i wanna get a custom trans am ram air style set up done on my hood for looks but also functional, like thw twin scoop all up in your face style....lol

 

no problems so far..

 

and ya, that's active, not one of them fake Mustang/Camaro ones..
water has had no effect at all on my driving experiences, even when the shyt's barreling down..it's all in how/where you run yer air filter (i'll find a pic of that later..)
and my engine bay is so clean ya could eat off the sucka..

 

Im not sure about the hoodscoop.. but what type of rims are those? I like em!

 

siveloz
what about during the winter?
u storing it?

if not would snow be a prob getting in?

 

Thanks man!

BSA Racing 16" rims. 4 bolt universal pattern, wrapped by 205/40R/16 Dunlop GT Qualifiers.

They are for sale BTW.

 

i have sunken vents right over my exaust manifold and i find no problem. remember you get water from under the car and allot more than you would get from the top remember when you drive the air going over your car pushes the water, but i remove my hood in the winter and put the stock one back on.

 

no, not storing it...
dunno yet about it getting blocked, but imo it'd be redundant..
and any snow getting in would melt, it'd be just like rain water in the end..
and yer still getting cool air, due to the climate, from under the car so..

not sure yet if i'll be removing it or not..probably, but we waits and sees....

 

hmm i guess we willlll see

 

a well designed vented hood should not be effected by the elements

 

my fave hood style Ive been wanting to do a custom hood like that for a long time... I love looking down into the engin bay from the seat
