Hey guys i recently bought a crabon creations cf vented hood i was wondering what have some of you done under the hood to prevent water from dripping into the engine bay because a few weeks back we had a bad storm over here in NY and my MAF sensor got water vapor in it and the car didnt drive right for a few days but once it got hot out it dried up and now everything is just fine, but regardless im trying to prevent this from happening again.....

i have a hydro shield over my intake but you havent had any problems with the Mass Air Flow sensor getting wet?
because mine got soaked and the car didnt drive for like three days theres got to be some sort of insert to go under neath the vents or if not then i guess ill have to tape the s*** out of my MAF :squint:

What intake do you have?

With my K&N the sensor has always stayed dry even without panels. K&N for the win :bigthumb:
