Air Scoops Question!

shemeld_135 · 02-16-2011, 04:32 PM

Would using air scoops in the rain cause the intake to suck up water?! Or will it be ok as long as I don't drive though a 4' puddle..

Not unless you were driving in water up to the kidney grill at which point you would have many issues beyond water entering through the scoops

yeah trust me they don't even suck up much air so water is not a problem. I had um on my 328 for 2 yrs and no issues.
