I don't know if this is the right forum for this but I'll give it a shot...

I have a Suncoast Creations SS hood and it has a baffle a few inches into the scoop past the grill, can I remove the baffle safely without causing any damage. I don't think it would happen but could it cause a lean condition at high speeds? I know this is a dumb question but there has to be a reason for the baffle in the first place, I just don't know what that reason is, lol.

 

the baffle is there to stop water from entering
but i've heard of alot of people removing it with out any ill effects

 

That's weird then, the gap for air to pass through is about 1/2" and at the bottom so all the wind would push the water on the hood into the opening. So I guess it wouldn't matter if I removed it. Thanks.

 

i've never done or seen it done personally. do a search on here to confirm tho!
