Drunkie should do that with his CTS-V brakes....cooled brakes FTW

move your ducts to the outer edges of the middle front bumper opening then so you can keep your fogs

i know, but it will only be like 2-4 inches depending on what size tubing you you use that it will take up not the whole thing

or just run an open cone and take out headlight at track....easy functional.....done

brake. cooling. ducts.

Its also a WAY more direct path to provide you with a water soaked air filter.

Time of removing headlight = 2 minutes if its your first time
Cost of repairing the engine you hydrolocked= about $1000..

If that 2 minutes of your day is really worth $1000 go for it.



However.... This would be cool for a 24 hour of lemons (Yes lemons, not LeMons, google it if you don't know) race car so you could still see at night while taking in a little cooler air.

if you hydrolock a motor from a little rain coming into the intake then you did something horrifically wrong. water gets in the intake all the time.

i kept both of my fogs, i paid good money for them

A little rain? Say you're driving 65 on the interstate in a decent rain and you have an open hole leading directly into your air filter.... Are you telling me that you are only going to get "a little rain" on your air filter?

yes. who cares if it is wet. water gets in the motor all the time. it's not like you put a hose on the throttle body and then put it in a bucket.

Yes, because an hour of "minimal water won't amount to anything at all....

Not my Car, Not my Problem.

it evaporates. the motor is hot. youre not dumping a ton of water into it, it's water vapor.

all cars eat water when it's raining.

some people clean their internals by squirting water into the throttle body

it doesnt have to be a straight path, air still flows through a tube with bends.
