This may have already been discussed on here if so can someone please point me to the thread that talks about the hood vents allowing water into the intake if you are using a cold air intake please. I seem to find this happens a lot on 2013 models did this not happen on the 10 11 and 12's or 14s or does it happen on all models? Did they redesign the hood vents in 2014 because I do plan on putting the JLT intake and kooks long tube herder on my car.

Thanks

Just spend $10 and 2mins of your time for install and your done. Have had mine on for the last 6 months and have had no water leaking on my filter.

 

Airaid offers a free rain shield so that water won't drip on the CAI filter through the hood vent

 

A lot of people are making this into an issue when it really is not an issue at all. Our DD at Steeda drives in the rain, gets car washes, etc. and no issues. Here are quotes from members on forums that provided feedback with their 2013 Mustang and the Steeda CAI.

 

Did u ever see that thing!? My two year old cousin can come with a better design. Man it's fugly.

 

Fugly doesn't mean none functioning.

 

I'll see it in a few days when it gets here

 

From this thread: https://themustangsource.com/f800/ai...13-cai-514383/

It doesn't look all that great to me but if it does the job, whatever ... guess I could Plasti-Dip it black before installing it so it blends in ... lol

 

Just powered washed mine, no problem here with water on CAI.

 

This is the reason I went with a K and N, it has a bolt on lid that covers the filter element. Looks nice, and I am pleased with the performance and sound upgrade as well. Haven't had any issues with rain or snow and it does a lot that here in Wyoming.

 

I'm glad some people are not having issues. I wanted to see if any water would drip on the filter so I wrapped it with paper towels. Washed my car like normal and once I was done opened the hood and the paper towel was soaking wet. Ordered the JLT vent plug and did the same test and only had a few drops of water on the edge of the paper towel. To me that says a lot about how well that vent plug works and for some it's more peace of mind then wondering if the water will hurt the car.

 

I may end up getting that vent plug from JLT or making my own since it's just a foam piece that needs to be trimmed to the right size ... but for free I figured I'd have Airaid send over their "fix" first and see what that looks like ...

 

Got my Airaid rain shield yesterday ... I think it has a date with my Plasti-Dip spray can VERY soon ... there's no way I'm gonna put something shiny that big under my hood ...

In the pic it's still covered by the plastic/rubbery protective wrap they send it in :

 

Might as well post pics of it in here too, just finished Plasti-Dipping the Airaid CAI rainshield for the '13-'14 GT vented hood.

That is correct ... Never did I mention it didn't work. Nissans juke seem to function just fine but you don't see many of those around why you may ask... I believe bc they are ugly.

Looks alot better gabe. You need to go to the hospital sir, you hve terminal mod bug illness for sure. Hope it doesn't go away for the sake that your car is coming out fantastic so far!

 

The Juke stole the Aztek crown as the ugliest car on the road

LMAO ... thanks Joey!

 

With that on there, why not just keep the stock airbox? Do you really notice a difference or do you just want to notice a difference because of the money paid for the mod?

 

C&L intake for 13-14', I've checked it 3-4 times after washing it and have yet to see a drop on the filter.

**** iPhone app messing up!!
