So with the accolade evo VII hood there is that cut out under the grill held up with screws and nuts. I would like to take it out and have air coming threw the grill, But i was wondering could it damage my engine with rain comin in there? Cause i live in florida and it rains alot and i dont want to damgae anything. Also i have a short ram and if the piece is out you can see part of my filter. Just curious as to if it would be ok or not to take it out

 

ok well it took mine out and got stuck in the rain the maf got wet and went crazy just make sure u have it to put it on when u need to

 

I have the evo VIII hood from seibon. I have driven with the vent open all summer. No problems with rain. I have a SRI and the rain hits it (It was worn away the red color of the filter). No issues so far.

edit: Thats weird. I havnt had an issue at all. And ive driven in terrential downpours...

 

im also turbo and my intakes in a dif position then urs but my nice manifold did rust out the day after i left it opened and it rained if u like a messy enigne bay leave it open i only had mine open on nice days

 

Ok thanks for the help guys
