Intake with vented hood?
Are any of you guys with vented hoods running exposed filter intakes? Have any of you run into any issues with water entering the engine bay?

Been discussed a few times but you would need to drive through a puddle or aim a high power hose at the hood with the engine running to even get close to hydrolocking the engine.

I dont think you could really hurt your motor ... But I am not getting a vented hood just because I think it might get alot dirtier and water will enter for sure.
