Food for thought for the guys who want to run open filter intakes

So I installed my CE hood last week and was able to install my water channels on the underside of the hood today. However after I installed them I got to thinking about the fact that these are designed to channel water that’s collected in the hood vents to pass the oem intake and down into the engine bay. However these open element designs were done before the CE was released so they don’t take into account that these vents exist. I decided to pour some water down my drivers side vent (the only one that matters) and see where it lands. On my prototype intake it’s Landing just behind the new breather or on the lid. However some of these intakes like the MST with their open boxes are going to be like nice buckets collecting all that water and pushing it DIRECTLY under the filter which is inhaling air and potentially water.
it would have to be a significant amount of water to cause issues but food for thought On those looking at open intakes with the CE or CE hood. Car washing without drying or a major rain storm would be 2 areas I’d be a bit uncomfortable with.
