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

i live in MD, and i'm going with the inverted scoop. all it should do is make steam.

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.

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,

hey all...thanks for the replies...i was thinking about just trying to re route the water...so im going to go with the inverted scoop design...jarid if you read this, im sending the money out today...later

I hear ya! I am also having an issue with the inverted scoop. I am prolly going to get one of each hoods. I am going to make a small boot for the scoop to divert water away from my engine components. We are up to four deposits now and alot on the way!!

hopefully ill get my deposit money in time

So was there ever a definitive answer to the question of if the inverted hood will fit over the KL-ZE?
