Hood louvers ?

Running the Jeep this morning my intake air temp was:

20-25 degrees above ambient at idle
15 degrees above ambient at 40 mph
10 degrees above ambient at 70-80 mph

this is thru a AEV snorkel with a pre-filter on it and running a K&N air filter.
That's cool (see what I did there 😎). Would be interesting to see what the temps are with the stock intake.

It would be, I didn’t put it on for the engine temps, but for dust and water crossings. But it would be interesting to see what kind of difference it does make there.

There’s a reason performance cars run hood scoops and cold air intakes, snorkel is no difference, it does lower quite a bit. But also with a giant engine and not much room in the engine bay it’s also going to heat soak the intake and raise the temp some too. You’ll see a net cooler air vs stock airbox for sure but airflow to shed heat from the bay is still important, especially in a big brick with a bunch of stuff in front of the radiator.

I’d be happy with that

Been looking to do either the EVO or Poison Spyder for a while now. But I'm in the Northeast (Mass), so with Snow and rain all year, I'm worried about water/other getting down onto the top of the engine...

Anyone in a Snowy area have one? have any issues?

Not much different then the tire spray and rain coating the inside anyways.
