I have a problem with water coming through the oem hood vent when it rains, is there anything you guys know of to block off the vent from under the hood?

 

They all leak water through hood vent. Its normal

 

LOL of course water is gonna come in there is a hole in the hood this will not effect anything ever.

The hole is there to let air in and out. Do not cover it from underneath

 

I have a Perrin Filter and my evo sometimes sutters in the rain. So it has been a mild issue for me. I surprised more people haven't had this problem.

 

I took my louvers off a few years ago, now there is just a hole with the mesh over it. No problems at all.

 

you could use the search, this topic has been covered a million times

ive been running a perrin filter for a long time and my car has not once acted differently in wet weather

 

I did search everyone says they don't have problems... but I have OEM hood and my Perrin filter gets wet and it only happens in the rain

 

if its an issue on your car i would suggest building a shield around the filter that should block water and at the same time your filter will not suck the warm air from the rad.

 

Ever have problems with water hitting the HOT exhaust manifold when it's pouring? Jw bc they say cold water on extremely hot surfaces is bad..

 

when your moving, water is not going to go into that hole. i dont care how hard its raining

 

No, never had an issue..

 

Agreed, but what does one do when its parked?

 

Enjoy the steam show

 

do you have the oem plate that attaches to the hood or are you just running the mesh wire?

honestly, your filter would have to be SOAKED to affect your car...getting rained on isn't going to make your car stutter
