GT-4 Hoods and Rain Options

[Raine]

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.

it wouldnt crack, inless you could get like half of the manifold to stay hot and the other half to be cooled way down, way down, this will make half of the manifld contract back to regular size with the other half expanded due to the high temp, and a crack would occour, but RAIN WILL NOT DO THIS not even forest gump's "big ol' fat rain"

ya i thin you would definately have to drench your manifold in a very rapid rate to even begin to get it to crack it gets so hot that rain drops or even splashes would just evaporate. i think you would have to have water near freezing to do dmg.
