Water/rain safe intakes/hoods. Please help!
i live in New Hampshire and we get some pretty heavy rain at times. I am going to be building my AP1 for racing/street use
i will have a second car for winter and really crappy days, but not for about a year
so....
i will be driving my car in heavy rain at times and i want to know what intakes wont suck up any water and if any vented carbon fiber hoods are rain safe.
the items in question are these:
J's racing tsuchinoko intake system
Spoon carbon/kevlar air duct (current system on my car)
J's type S hood
J's type V hood
Mugen hood
any comments or feedback would really be useful

if you drive through a river (water level above 3ft) at full throttle, then yes...you will have problems.
the hoods will be fine in the rain.
