I have driven in the rain a bunch of times and virtually no water (maybe a few drops) goes in the hoodscoop.
Why? Because the Big opening in the front of these cars allows so much air in, the scoop becomes an Exit for the air under the hood. No air actually goes in the scoop when driving unless your hood is sealed to the engine.
Basically all scoops do is allow for more carb/engine room under the hood, unless of course if the scoop is a sealed system.
