Does anybody know if my vented cf hood safe its vented above the exhaust manifold. I would hate to get rid of it. I just bought it 3 days ago too. Hate to blow a lot of money on something thats not safe. This really sucks.... Would I be able to bring it to a machine car wash and be safe?????? Or the manifold will crack (header or turbo manifold) and stuff?? How about on rainy days???? If its parked??? or driven???? I would deeply appreciate everyone feedback on this please Also any other ways to still keep my vented cf hood???? What will happen if manifold cracks????Thanks.

my friend suspended a dish under the vent....... so when it does rain the dish directs the water away from his intake manifold... u can try that... also y would u want to take ur car through a machine wash.... those things **** up ur car so bad

 

Yeah you are right about the machine car wash I was just curious of what would happen. How did you friend use a dish under the vent any pix??? Or what he did? Any other suggestions from others? Im still open to find out thanks.

 

my friend has a hood with the slits above the exhaust manifold, he has turbo, and his wastegate looks kinda ghetto..but that is the only thing-and why would you take your car to a machine wash..washes like ****

 

Hmmm I thought it will be bad if you have a crack manifold it will be bad??? I'm not really concern with the filter getting water suck in i have a bypass valve and plus its cold air the vent won't reach the filter. My main concern is my exhaust manifold my header or my turbo manifold. Thanks for your help. I would still like more information from others too

 

I have a question and an idea. Is there a way I can custom something to take in and out to cover the hood vent. Like when its rainin I put back the thing to cover the vent and when its very hot or its not rainin i remove taht thing. Just like a clip on and off thingy???? Anyone know how or any ideas??? Thanks really would I be fine???? What happen if a manifold crack?? And your drivin also??

 

My vent is just above dist.cap stupid paint shop who doesn't fit at right position, my main concern is when rain would it cos any leak of electric??
