Found these meat containers fit perfectly over the inlets to the airbox. With a little trimming, the clam will close so you can wash the outside without worrying about getting water in there. Just don't forget to remove them.:biggrin

If the clamshell is closed then water will not get to the air filters. Rain can enter the clamshell ducts, but there is a J channel there to divert most if not all of the water before it gets to the filter housing. Any water that can make is pass that will just come out the bottom of the housing through small drain holes.
Ford does think about these things when designing the cars.

"Do they come in Turkey & Ham?"
Yep. Several meats, flavors, and thicknesses. We are overrun with them since our kids love em. Great also for holding fasteners and stuff... like tupperware, dishwasher safe.

No doubt. But... it seems silly to run even a little rinse water through your airbox.
"With some of the other products I've seen that are "unique" to the GT you could have these stamped "GT" and market them for $49.95. Just keep the meat for yourself. Win, win."
Great idea. I've got them for the low price of $39.95, pm for details.:lol
"That's a very pretty Stillen exhaust!"
I'm loving it. Got a great deal from a forum member. Never thought it could be possible, but I get more attention now (due to the sweet sound). Thanks Rob!

As I recall, any water that would get to the air inlet box comes in to the bottom of the box, in which there are drain holes. To get to the filters, it would have to get sucked up from the bottom of the box. What little might be there would be vaporized by the time it gets to the SC, and as I recall, water vapor will improve the performance of most engines.

Saran wrap and a rubber band would work too. :lol
Any who choose to use that suggestion can just send me $1.95.
We'll use the "honor system".

But our "highly engineered GT specific system" is re-usable making it "Green". We here at "insert techy green name here" want to save our environment and are highly concerned with the toxic effects of improper repeated disposal of single use materials.
Aaaaaaaaaaaah, but my Saran Wrap system IS re-usable, Your Wrongness. Simply remove it after use and store it on a handy shelf somewhere. And it would take up less storage space than your system, too. Besides, MY system would seal completely and therefore would be 100% waterproof. 'Same can't be said for YOUR Mickey Mouse lash up.
...and one would hafta be careful not to knock YOUR system off the inlets with a wrongly aimed stream of water as well.:tongue

Ahhh, but......while not as "green as other techniques, the prodigious use of emptied liquor containers would make the detailing job much more pleasant, though less accurate....
Just a single re-usable container required, now that is green. Think I'll do some environment saving today.:cheers
