Hey guys , I will no doubt have to run my blower out of the hatch and do not want water mist getting sucked into the rear carb . Will a scoop like this play hell with airflow to that rear carb . Has anyone done any dyno testing with one ? Thinking about two HP500 type flame arresters in lieu of the K$N filters . I want to give the blower every advantage . http://www.rbssuperchargers.com/Prod...-0048&pID=6345

I think youd be on the right track by ditching the KN style filters inin them. Not sure the hp500 areestors would fit. They make some small like 3x5 arrestors that are pretty unrestrictive and cheap. My buddy has them, cant remember who makes them but ill find out
