Default Well got hail damage and need some opinions?

Well with the recent hail storm around here and lots of dents in my hood I am looking at different hoods. Anybody running a RIPP with AEV or 10th anniversary hood? I was told I would have to run a snorkel because the air filter would get wet. Anybody with a setup similar and if so could you feel a power loss. Thanks for your time.

200 miles and I got hit by a hail storm last month. State Farms said it's paintless sent repair and comprehensive would cover it. Unfortunately, deductible was higher.

Pick up some dry ice, watch a couple youtube videos, and give it a shot. Worst case, you pay what you were already gonna pay.
