Yes and no.
The venting of the headers is probably a very difficult task, hence why most ceramic coat and/or wrap them to just push the heat farther down the exhaust and keep engine/header separation as much as possible.

Now there still has not been any 'real' data provided on the 370z of where our high heat points are, pressure zones, and what venting certain areas actually do. From just slapping on a Seibon TS hood and doing some pre-vented hood data logs and some post, I have seen some solid temp drops or better temp management. The other result I have notice is my most forward vents extra the most hot air, while the farther back ones do very little (I am sure they help but not as much as the front).
wheee! likes this.
