I think they mean that no water gets into anything bad. Of course it gets inside, they are gaping holes into your engine bay. Doesn't appear to do any harm though. Look for yourself where they drip. Just onto some hoses and stuff. If you really think it will help, velcro the flaps back until it rains, then close them.

When I was at work one day it rained, so when I went to my car afterwards, it was all wet and I opened the hood and really, nothing was wet on the inside. It must have something to do with the slopes of the vents as it isn't just straight flat. So when the rain falls down it gets catched by the vents and drips down onto the hood. Something like that, but it doesn't soak anything up under the hood or hardly even get it wet.
when I wash my car, the hood blanket gets wet right aroundthe vents. So water definitly does get in.
cut your hood blanket back around the vents
thats what i did on mine and the blanket still looks new and now more heat can escape.
do a search on it. there are tons of people that have cut them back and put trim around where they cut and they look good.

Never thought to remove the flaps, I am looking at that tomorrow. :rolling:

Just got my 2.80 Pulley, 100mm Idler & Custom tune. When I got home I took the blanket off and cut the vents....

FWIW I removed my blanket and cut the flaps off and when I wash my car I throw a towel over the engine directly below the vents and the towel is soaking wet when I'm done washing my car.
engine wash?
I cut my vents long ago and removed hood blanket. When I go to the car wash I wash the engine, I making sure K&N is covered and not blast the electrical box to hard. The result is a nice clean engine in my 04 Cobra with 30,000 fun love'n miles :burnout:

On the subject of making the blower louder. I had a lightning before the terminator and i got the blower ported on the lightning. When i got the blower ported i had the guy weld the silencer ports on the superhcarger which made it way louder. How come no one has welded the silencer ports on the cobra superchargers?
Some guys have. Stiegemeier will do it for $100.baby2000 said:
I had my silencer holes welded closed:

Seen this done in the past and the heat deformed the case and rotors were rubbing.
where do you get the lower pulley from?
Never had it get near close enough to bubble the underside of the hood just helps the hot air vent exp if you do the billit openings on the vents
Or if you wannabe cheaper just cut the flap off the stocker vents

If your not going to remove your blanket you can just tuck the flaps under it. That way you can still flip them back if your worried about rain. I ended up cutting mine and removing the blanket after I felt it out for a season. No problems
