I like the duct work idea. I've been thinking about doing this for my short ram air intake for a while now. Good to know that simple 3" tubing will do the trick

Approach this idea with caution is all I can say. Several years ago we had a GTA member who experimented with pointing the snorkel on the stock intake downward to the lower grill area. Performance and mpg wise worked great. Not so great when it turned itself into a wet-vac during a massive rainstorm and hydro-locked his engine. Expensive and inconvenient modding experiment.

Yes, very good point! As much as I would like to say that I live in an area where rainfall doesn't happen too often (southern California) the car is my daily driver and it's important that it be able to get me to where I need to go without trouble no matter the conditions (Whenit does rain here, it floods!) I was thinking I could put together some sort of cover for wet days? Maybe finding a way to temporarily block/seal/cap the inside passage as well? I'm not really sure but I'll think of something!
