Heat soak - vented hood options that are not "louvered"

dmhenderson

Well I'd need to make sure it would be functional first. Consensus here seems to be that the scoop shown in that picture wouldn't do much (if anything)

It _probably_ won't do anything but it's impossible to tell for sure without doing some testing.

If the engine compartment is sealed as well as others have said, then trying to force more cool air in won't do much good. Sounds like letting the hot air out is the way to go. I like the idea of venting the undertray and exhausting the hot air under the car but don't know if it would actually work or what side-effects it might have.

Interesting discussion.

well it should function, it will be scooping up air, how well it would function is a whole different question

honestly you're better off getting hood vents, ya it will dirty your engine bay but you wont have to worry about rain because most vented hoods come with covers for the vents
