Where does the water go? Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and all, but I've been doing a lot of research o the LS1 and air induction and I'm an air-inducion fanatic. I'm trying to make a new very effective air induction system, but i have one problem, suckingin water. Now i want to knwo from all the SS owners out there, where does the water go? I mea, surely during rain, the water HAS to get in the scoop? but where does it go afterwards?

Re: Where does the water go? BigZ here is what I did but it is not for the daily driver. My car is mostly drag race.

If you want to see more photos go here.
If you have any questions let me know. I will not have to car off the jack stands for another two weeks so I cant tell you how it works until then. I have about $6 bucks into the cost of this. I bent all of it by hand, but I also use to do metal work a long time ago. I'm not sure if rain will work its way up but most likley it would if I was driving on the freeway fast the velocity alone would take it up. I might put a screen on it when i drive to the track to keep bugs out.

Re: Where does the water go? Yes air will leak out. The SS hood is really for looks IMO. Take a close look at one with the hood open. Air goes from the middle of the hood and is channeled back to the front. It slows the velocity and it also gains heat by doing that.
As for the other setup above you could do that and put some kind of demister pad to knock out the water. It would more than likely have a higher velocity than the SS style and will be a lot cooler air. This is just my opinion. I would like to here any more thoughts.

Re: Where does the water go? They knock out the water and are used in the Petrochemical industry. Here is a site that makes them.
It says it will work with cars.

Re: Where does the water go? A little water in the engine wont hurt anything. In fact there are systems that actualy inject water into the engine. Its massive amounts of water that you have to be concerned with...
