How do I prevent water from coming in while parked with a aftermarket Ram Air hood. Not sure if I am going to go with a ram air kit on my firebird, but I am worried if water gets in the ram air holes while driving or parked. Is there a solution to this.

My brother had an aftermarket one (which holy cow if the OP might have an aftermarket one too! OMG!) that had no baffle for rain water.
My OEM hood:
You can see the baffle.
Take your superior attitude somewhere else. It's so f'ing annoying.

LOLwater hits the baffle and drains downward before entering the engine. you may have to make a baffle

Someone get this guy a tissue. Shouldnt be enough water getting through to have any effect. Unless your driving in a monsoon, which in that case, i would be more worried about water coming up from underneath.

I have no baffles or anything in my ram air hood, and I live in central Florida, it rains a lot. I have driven in some bad rain, like can hardly see bad rain, and have not had a problem with water getting into the intake.

I wouldnt worry to terribly much. I have my filter behind my license plate and drive it in all kinds of weather. I was worried at first but, havent had any problems. Dont give it to much gas while its raining. If your still worried tho, you could try to put a pre filter in the mouth of the hood. itll allow airflow. but will collect the water and have it drip to the bottom
