have installed a SRI already and oh boy, even the wife noticed the new found 'pep' the way E behaves now compared to pre-SRI.
anyways, having read posts about getting water into engines via intakes, i noticed that there's a bit of space/opening at the junction of front panel and 'fender' (i don't know the proper term, sorry) (if you'll continue that front edge of the hood towards the driver side)...another thing is when the hood's open, you can see at that 'fender' side sort of a 'gutter' coming from the windshield side and ends to the front, approximately at the front of the filter...
- are these two issues a concern for water getting into the intake? i usually do spray gun carwash, is there a chance that i may get water in there?
- how much water is needed to get the engine ruined anyway? if it's just a drop, then i definitely need to keep the filter dry as much as possible then eh?
do i need to provide some sort of a cover or shroud for the filter to avoid getting it wet? or i'm just getting paranoid in here and let it be?
thanks!
