Default MPD hood

Anyone, with a MPD hood do you have any problems with water ingestion?

Also, I'm trying to run a SLP CIA with the working Plenum but Eric over at MPD wants to send me the Plenum uncut, so I can mod it myself. How hard do you guys think it is to cut ?

I don't want to spend money for another air box. He sells one on his site to work perfect with the hood, but $$300 damn....

also does anyone foresee any problems running a CSC with a working plenum?

I can't forsee a problem as the plenum would run on the other side of the drive belts. All you should need to do is cut a hole in the slp and put in a foam/rubber gasket, about an inch or 2 high and that would run from the plenum to the air intake.

I do not have one of these so I can't be totally sure but have seen plenty of pics and done some research.

he is spot on as far as how to run it on this hood or any other after market hood you want to do like this.

Also if you run in to a problem with water ingestion you will be snorkeling with your monte and TRUST ME they were not made for this I TRIED!!

yeah, but what about water/rain/snow that gets into the hood scoop, goes down through the plenum underneath and dumps into your CAI/Filter ????
