Hi Jerry,

The link above should provide some insight on this for you should you decide to go with a dual snorkel scoop on Aaron's Duster. As far as hood clearance, you may want to consider purchasing an air cleaner base plate with an 1" or so drop for added hood clearance.

Thanks for the link, Bill. Lots of good info, but still doesn't answer the burning question about how to deflect, or otherwise prevent, any rain from entering the filter element. Aaron already bought the Mopar Performance cast aluminum filter element housing, so the lowered base plate isn't an option.

Time to get creative...
