VIDEO INSIDE: I worry my inlets may get wet

J. Dub · 12-14-2015, 04:13 PM

I'd like to purchase precision race works inlets. HOWEVER I have a carbon fiber VENTED hood. And one of the vents looks like it might be over the inlets.
Can anyone confirm?

2jzn54 · 12-14-2015, 04:24 PM

If the filter is sitting right under they will get wet. I would at least install a suspended shield under the vents.

Fred_Boosted · 12-14-2015, 04:56 PM

Thats kind cool, cause you intaking the cold air coming from that vent lol.

Rain guard is what you might need, or what three said, a shield

J. Dub · 12-14-2015, 07:41 PM

Sucks cause I really want inlets without a rain guard. I may be forced to get rb inlets@the stock location.

J. Dub · 12-15-2015, 12:05 AM

Went ahead and updated the OP with a better video

J. Dub · 02-22-2016, 10:48 AM

My next thought was using water resistant pre-filters.

Problem is I don't know what prefilters would fit on MM Performance hot side inlets/filters

I think a simple email to them asking for the size of the filter would be all you need.

I have the same hood and MMP inlets. I just got the KN dry charger and put it over the filter... will post pics shortly. But in California we don't have snow, but I drove through heavy rain, car washes, touch less and regular and so far it's been fine

dreyo27 · 02-25-2016, 09:30 PM

I have VRSF inlets. And M3 vented hood. I just covered my vents lol. And here is my expansion tank relocation. Your gonna need brackets and a longer hose which should be provided in the inlet kit.
