After installing my 99002 Spectre Air Intake I notice my hood will not shut all the way has anyone else experienced this problem? I think it has to do with the heat shield.

Solved this is a common problem all you have to do is cut the heat shield

That’s weird mine required no cutting and doesn’t have the insulation strip, maybe it’s been redesigned

There's two versions 99000 and 99002. You most likely have the 99000.

I see it now, the kit you have has reviews on Amazon complaining about the same thing

Performance there was a slight difference but really can't tell because my transmission slips and I need to install my new one

I had one of these installed for a few weeks and ended up removing it. The cone sits right under the crack between the hood and fender which, while raining, ended up sucking enough water/moisture in to cause my engine to idle very rough at red lights. I'm sure it was just some moisture hitting the MAF but not worth the risk IMO.

I`ve had one for about five years now. No problems closing the hood or the filter getting wet.
I check the filter after driving through very hard rain at highway speed and its never been wet.
The only change i made was switching to an AEM dry cone filter to avoid messy oiled filters.

I have one on my 2006. Mine doesn’t have the shield so it doesn’t present any problems closing the hood. I like it a lot. Not a lot of gains, but gave my truck a nice little sound after the fact. I also don’t have any issues with it getting wet so not a big deal.
