How does your hellcat intake keep out rain thru that large headlight opening?
I am thinking about doing the Hellcat intake on my SRT.

I've had the HC box and tube on my SP for a couple of years now. As others have stated, no water issues at all.


You'll see lower AIT readings, which is good, and no difference in sound. IMO, this addition is well worth the money. I did add the D.I.P.S. screen, but just for the looks. Not really needed IMO, just a little nice addition to this system.

If you mean the 2015+, or the Vland. The center of the inner light is a plastic plug you can remove which if connected to a tube, would go to the intake on the Hellcat lower air box. The outer ring is the light halo. White when headlights are on, or the DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) are off. Amber when DRLs are on, and/or when the turn signal or emergency blinkers are on
