Is this a good idea?

CoolGuyNilo · 06-14-2013, 10:45 PM

I'm looking into getting a kne dci stage 2 (air intake) and I moticed it's open on the top so I was thinking .. Would it be a good idea to get a hood that has a scoop on the side of the intake (right side) to maximize airflow ? Or would rain on a rainy day mess things up ?

it would probably do more harm than good

and it probably wouldn't look very good

definitely not worth it
