I feel pretty stupid asking this, but I tried searching and couldnt find any answers. Do you guys with GT-4 hoods drive in rain, and if so, do you do anything to stop rain from pouring into the grille on top of the hood? What would need to be protected inside the bay (5sfe)? The intake quickly comes to mind in order to prevent hydrolock.

The stock heat sheild on the GT4 exhaust manifold would also pervent water from coming into direct contact with the manifold.
I was worried about the manifold cracking too, since I have a stainless tubular manifold that sits pretty close to the vent. Just last week it snowed here, and I could here the manifold sizzling after parking the car. So I just bent up and heat shield last night and will be installing it today. No more worries.
