thats nice!!!!

I think those come with torpedo tubes to mount in the DRL locations and a grenade shifter.
The bad thing is, if they offer it in chrome they won't be able to make enough of 'em.

It's quite a performance enhancer, since it "bring[s] more air into the sidewall/ engine compartment." Man, why didn't GM think of that!?!?

Can you say STOOPID?

You're kidding, yes? You do know what's under there?

I just went out and took this just for you.

you must not have the hybrid fusion generator option on yours thats why there is nothing under that cap.

DRTY is right you cannot pull air through the fender system very easily in that location. You can relocate washer tank then cut hole that will go to engine bay.

You can use the caps to add screens in front. Make a rubber seal so that when you pop cap on you get a ram air type system once you also make a new intake tube to air filter. With supercharger not really looking for ram air but, coolest air. This is a MOD Dragon and i have already figured on doing next. Just rough look and drawing as we are not there yet. Still need to figure a rain drain into the system like a small U in the line before filter with a drain in it. Do not want to disrupt air flow to much so not sure how we will do the drain yet may just take air from a dry location up top. Plus my Mall Queen does not see ugly weather anyway though you never know when you may get caught off guard. Will not be to hard to figure it all out but, will retain the stock look. Any suggestions welcomed though. Thanks for sure for those!!

It would not be a great snorkle unit but, air intake would be up a little higher. Most likely higher than someone would want to ford water that deep I guess.

Well anyway just a thought.

Had this ony my 03. You cut a hole in the body panel for the air to flow in to the engine compartment. It brings in cold air, from outside. Need an open air filter box as well.

Hey dr,

We know about these but, we want to do a closed system as the reverse cowl hood scoop is functional. Thinking that if not a closed system the breathless type system will just suck in more mosture and debri as scoop removes allot of heated air fast. Normal air coming in through radiator and front goes around engine and down under rig so breathless type setup would work better then. The scoop changes direction of air flow as well as increases the flow. Well anyway i know You get where i'm going with it all. Sorry!

The covers have to be custom color matched anyway so we have figured that we know how to cut and add screen which will make it all done for little or nothing. We have to add some tubing in correct size an shape to fit the cold air kit, then enclose filter in a round canister, and an overall flow design thinking ahead of removing the MAF when boost get's past 15lbs. of boost. That and more stuff will come up not yet forseen. On the driver side I will do an open cap and just cut hole out to help lower engine bay temps working with the reverse cowl scoop.

With the SC intake direction, water/meth kit, co2 bottle to cool down aftercooler and some other stuff like SC cooling pump etc. room is limited. We have had to already rework the cold air kit some to fit space allowed. We will have to make a round canister for conical air filter so as to get it to a closed system along with coming up with a rain drain and maybe a heavy debri catcher also. The large tractors I owned had just ahead or on the leading end of the canister a 2 inch round drop tube with a rubber duckbil shaped drain that let water out as well let You squeeze it and make larger heavier trash drop out that would collect ahead of air filter. It worked well on the slow tractors but, it would have to be tried at faster speeds to see if the intake air will slow down enough for trash to fall into drain as well as water. I'm thinking water will if it is not atomized to much going through screen and turns. I would hope water would collect on tube walls and fall to bottom side of tube and into drain. If not it will be filtered and maybe less water in methanol inj. LOL

I'm also not sure i want forced air into SC so i'm thinking of turning and putting both cap screens on back side so filter get's colder air and the driver side just helps to remove more engine bay heat.

I have a design in mind we just have to try it and make adjustments. Part of the fun I guess of doing something different though it is a little nerve racking at first try, yet fun when you beat the problem.

Thanks dr for making me think about it more as we knew we could do the screens for next to nothing. You got me to thinking about harder. It has been on the back burner for a long time now.

Next to the goggles that come with the snorkel kit.

[BlueHUMMERH2]

This is how I think a snorkel could be done:



You'd have a rubber flange that would fit over the air screen under the hood, and then the snorkel and all would lift up with the hood.

That's cool looking... i think I will get two of them.....

Even if you cut a hole there the space below doesn't go to the engine compartment.
