Hydro Guide

[PyrPatriot]

So this thread informed me of a thing called the hydro-guide. Got me interested, sure enough it's for water diversion from air intakes.

Tri-Level Hydro-Guide Air Intake System

When the going gets too deep, there's added peace of mind that the new Wrangler will channel up to 15 gallons of water using a series of ducts to redistribute it away from the air intake. Plus, as a precautionary measure thanks to its improved lift, the Jeep can ford 32.5-inches of water.

So the depth is now officially 2.5" higher for a Rubicon because of the lift those seem to have? Or is it just because the 392 has more lift? Anyway irrelevant for now. What I'm interested in is the hood/system. The thread explained how it's useless for the 3.6, but with the differential breathers being another limiting factor (among others, see thread), is the hood just to prevent water in the air intake during splashings?

I looked at one it does a couple things there are rubber flaps over the air outlets under hood, I assume when you slow down or stop they would seal and all air goes to engine only, when at speed with lots of air coming in they ooen and put cold air into engine bay and some goes to engine......Jack
