LOL! Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that was a big concern for me when I first found the hood, then dropped to 5% concern after I saw how everything was arranged and then went to 0% after this test drive.
The air goes through the "hood duct", turns 90 degrees down into another duct, drops a few inches, turns 45 degrees into the bottom of the air box (which has a 1/2" drain hole in the bottom.) The air filter is then 2 or 3" above the top of that last "45 degree duct."
I had perfect conditions to see exactly what could happen: 45 minutes out on the turnpike while it was raining so hard that I had to vary my speed between 40 & 65 MPH for safety. Typical Oklahoma, it went from deluge to dry pavement as if pulling in to a garage and I was able to immediately pull over at a rest stop and check everything out. There was a little moisture in the bottom of the box but the filter was bone dry.
