Looks awesome, did a great job.River Raider
The term benefit is up for debate but I went with the river raider because I am an insurance adjuster and I have seen hundreds of water into the engine via under the hood CAI.Looks awesome, did a great job.
Honest question here, so please dont beat me up on it.
What benefit does that location have over a "regular" CIA that lies under the hood? That one is much more exposed to the element(snow,rain,dust) than one under the hood.
A snorkel where the inlet is at(or above) the top of the windshield does add some benefit for cleaner/cooler air. And the inlet faces foward allowing direct flow of air intake.
Just not getting the inlet being located at the A-pillar location
Like I said honest question truly curious
Hopefully you never have water over the hood! However, water in your intake would be the least of your problems at that pointThe term benefit is up for debate but I went with the river raider because I am an insurance adjuster and I have seen hundreds of water into the engine via under the hood CAI.
Lower induction point and even fender splash will funnel not only air but water.
The RR is a air tight system and I would have to have water over the hood before water would enter the system, not a huge fan of a tall snorkel for me it was the best of both worlds
Actually I get water on my hood all the time when crossing water. You don’t have to be in water as deep as the intake is tall to get into trouble. I’ve lost power twice due to water splashing into the factory intake. Yes I was going too fast because it’s fun, but that’s not really the point. Lol.Hopefully you never have water over the hood!

One other thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that this is a high pressure area when driving down the road, so it could end up with a slight "cowl induction" benefit.Looks awesome, did a great job.

I am willing to try anything to help prevent broken windshields. Let us know if you think it helps.Put my bug/stone deflector on last night before heading 6 hours to Hilton Head.
The way New Bern has had to deal with high water the last couple of years ,it appears a smart move.The term benefit is up for debate but I went with the river raider because I am an insurance adjuster and I have seen hundreds of water into the engine via under the hood CAI.

it seems to help some, but not completely, bugs large and small still make it through to the windshield.I am willing to try anything to help prevent broken windshields. Let us know if you think it helps.
If you've lost power due to water in your intake, it's not because of some splashing. The intake was flooded and is very bad for your motorActually I get water on my hood all the time when crossing water. You don’t have to be in water as deep as the intake is tall to get into trouble.

I’ve been waiting on a better snorkel option for months. slim Pickens

Nicely done but I'm curious as to why you needed the through holes in the table? You could have unfolded it to install the bolts in the back splash to the tailgate?My new tailgate table
I'm guessing that cant get wet?My new tailgate table
The back board and table need to fold tight to each other because of my cargo platform.Nicely done but I'm curious as to why you needed the through holes in the table? You could have unfolded it to install the bolts in the back splash to the tailgate?
