Finally got around to a project I wanted to tackle for awhile. With the procharger soon being installed and JBA shorties on I want to reduce under hood temps and also since the procharger pulls its air from the back of the engine bay this will bring cooler air in for that purpose also.
This is a DIY on how to modify your stock honeycomb hood inserts to allow air to pass through them.
I keep seeing people comment on concerns of air/water/dirt/dust getting into the engine bay. I'd like to remind everyone that SRT vehicles including Hellcats, TrackHawk, Viper, and even the 04-06 SRT-10 all have open hood vents similar to this with no issues.
Just be conscious of the climate you drive in and your intake setup. I agree you don't want rain dumping on a cone filter but ducting can avoid this too
The Mopar cold air intake kit could even introduce water to the filter more directly than this mod with the ducting setup they have.
Anyway here is the video!
