As long as you don't blast yer filter with water/sand/small children, it should work out fine!

how do you compensate for hard rain driving? does it have a water trap?

I highly doubt it's going to have any trouble with rain.

This is similar to the Challenger Hellcat air box intake. Nice work there.

I doubt it too.

Thank you sir.

That's a great mod! RAIN?, highly doubt any problems. If anything, a little steam cleaning keeps those pistons sparkling.

Had a 'snorkel/ram air tube' on a Volant system once.
A Chebby where the Volant snorkel faced forward through a OEM opening in the bumper.

Small children? NO
Sand? YES
Water? YES

Actually blasted the filter with both, leaving visible pinholes in the filter medium and a 'white' area where it has washed the blue filter oil out,,,

Probably one of the worst 'hundred dollar mods' I've ever encountered.

Doesn't mean what we see here will be affected the same way, but,,,, something to look for/keep in mind,,,

Do you think a screen (like one from a window) would help break the water apart fixing the problem?

OP keep us posted on gains/losses if any!

I thought about putting some screen door material on the grill inlet. Mainly to keep out the bugs. Im not too worried about rain or sand. If i lived on the coast it would be a different story.

Yeah good idea about the bugs!

I'm thinking about doing this too. Did you have an original write up you used?

I know there is one out the web, but I like this forum and it's easier to find things.

It is thads design and idea. You can get with him on the details and parts. All credit goes to him.

A screen will help the big critters from getting ingested, but even a 'few' single layers of screen would do very little against water travelling at speed,,,

Houston uses sand in the winter months for 'ice' (Don't laugh,,, Ice or not, they spread it out every time it 'might' get below 32,,,)

It eventually somewhat blows/washes off the road, but stays with us year-round on the shoulders/next to barricades. A semi goes by, swirls it all up again,,, back out on the road it goes,,, Windshields around here get covered with little 'pits' in no time,,, =(

That's what the filter is for. I really don't understand how this can be a problem or at least on par with the Vararam intake...
