underhood seal....

saw it on ebay just wondering if it was worth the cash. it sounds like it may work sealing the hood properly so that water doesnt enter the intake. since i have my new Haltech with exposed intake dont want any water getting into my engine...Thanks.

If you have a JC WHITNEY catalog, look through their rubber/foam door seals section. There's stuff in there that looks the same in 20 ft. rolls for about $10.00.

I think I got mine from Ecklers. It was only about $10 so it was worth the cost. Helps keep dust out of the engine bay and gives the hood a snug fit at the front. I like it.

I agree, cheap fix, may re-direct some air but I doubt it makes a noticeable difference to performance - just cleaner

hood seal

You can go to most any auto parts dearler and buy for $10 - $15.00 and get double what you will ever use. That way you don't have to wait a week to get it in the mail. Just ask for Weatherstriping and choose which one you want.
