Default Hood Vents!




OK so I wanted to make this thread so I can thank the people who gave me the help.

1st off, Dave Tran aka BerlinahBayRidah - Gave me the aluminum mesh (And wouldn't accept any payment) thanks dude

Also Joe Garcia aka Quicksilver this man let me use his garage and even bought me lunch


And lastly Ken (dont know your last name dude) aka S2Kennmark

He supplied the hood and sold it at a silly low price

Thanks again guys, lets hope it functional.

I would have done black mesh but maybe the lighting is making it look
brighter? Other than that it looks good..
Is air going to be sucked out or pushed in? I think you might actually get air
pushed in when driving depending on speed. You should go to NASA and put it
in the wind tunnel to see what happens at different speeds.

Did you figure out what was wrong with your suspension?

looks good. either it pushes or pulls air out. i noticed with my vented hood that it does release a lot of hot air.

[QUOTE]

[QUOTE] cutting the stock aluminum hood seems to be bringing more air into the engine bay than actually taking the heat out.

which is good, i suppose. But how much does that really help? Wish you had an AEM EMS to check some intake temperature, exhaust temp and few other temp settings to see how much improvement is made.
