The "what happens in [a heavy] rain" issue would make me nervous, but I would think there are solutions for that.
Kudos for thinking of new stuff!

What about in the winter and it gets icy up there? Wouldn't that block air flow? Or when it melts, could that be a concern? I like the idea a lot though I'd just want answers to those questions. I've been wanting to built a custom CAI for my CRD but that might be a better, more functional solution.

Adam, IM NOT RUNNING A SNORKEL!!!!!!! HAHAHA Im not worried about the ice of anything, that'd be a lot to block the whole cowl no to mention the air coming from sides and underneath.. If you pull that plastic piece by the windshield you'll see the area Im talking about. In addition, Im sensing a transition to North Carolina always wanted to live there and even if I did stay throw another winter my XK is garage kept, ice and snow building up in that spot is a rare occurence

Come on down to North Carolina man! We'll go wheeling and fab you up a custom intake.Originally Posted by 06JeepXKHEMI
Be careful running the intake through the firewall. Guys with buggy's do it and they say that it's very noisy (sucking in air/whistling or whatever you wanna call it)
