question regarding CF hood with inverted scoop
hey everyone...Im going in on this CF hood group buy, and there is the option to get an inverted scoop, my concern is the water that will drain through the scoop...after emailing with cjthor (jarid), the water will possibly drain onto either the exhaust manifold, or the cooling fans possibly...so, question is, will this affect or damage my engine, and for the people going in on this group buy, are u sticking with oem style or if going with the scoop, are u just not worried about the water issue?...thanks in advance, sorry about the long post

Re: question regarding CF hood with inverted scoop
but if it drips onto your exhaust manifold or your header, it can start cracking because of the high heat. i was thinkin of the same thing when doing my fb hood...maybe just put some type of shield over your exhaust manifold or fans that reroutes the water away with weather stripping or something.

Re: question regarding CF hood with inverted scoop
Ive ordered the inverted scoop. I live in Memphis, it rains, but not that oftern. I have a garage, but I will still probably do something to re-route the water,

Re: question regarding CF hood with inverted scoop
So was there ever a definitive answer to the question of if the inverted hood will fit over the KL-ZE?
