lOL....well supposedly its okay since the vented parts are towards the engine and not the side(electrical components) BUT im not 100% on this.

What i am sure is that there was a huge reduction in temperature sooo there must be performance improvement aswell. I would get it pure on style though cause i doubt it'd be something noticeable, and plus, if it snows....i don't think it'd be fun washing it...the engine bay would get dirtier a lot faster, especially with you daily driving it taylor

just take a fatty dump and lose that 2kg!!!!!

Dave, your intake is open so I think water could get onto it w/ a vented hood.

In most cases you won't run into problems with a vented hood, other than a dirty engine bay. Some of them have optional covers, and the higher end ones have gutters built in.

Vented hoods make a very noticeable difference in under-hood temperatures.

when i had a vented hood i never had any problems in rain.. and in really hot days i see alot of heat coming out.. so i guess it works well

but with the K&N intake i you should becareful since the filter is in the open..

I'm anticipating on picking up one for the spring/summer season, the bov noise is even louder

And reducing under hood temperatures do what?

Nothing noticeable.

Maybe nothing noticeable for a stock car, but for woo(andrew), who's boosted will see a gain I would think.
