Got some $10 hood vents on ebay and got them on this weekend. Didnt turn out too bad, and I'm seeing about a 15-20 degree drop in temp.
I didn't get much of a drop (if any) in coolant temps, but the underhood temps have got to be better which in turn should help contribute to sensors, hoses, and any other plastic or rubber pieces living longer.
I like my my hood vents. The amount of heat that escapes is unbelievable. I haven't noticed much of a difference in the coolant temp, but you can actually touch the hood after it has been running awhile.
I don't know if it helps running down the highway, but trail riding it has to help.
Looks like crap though!!not best pic but i have these $5 wall vent from home depot screwed in the hood. and as i off road, there's LARGE amount of heat raising out of the vents. id image that i could be running a bit hotter than i did with them.
Your face looks like crap! Oh!!Looks like crap though!!
is it seriously that big of a deal to have ""lower" underhood temps? my hood is normally that hot because of the amount of direct sunlight that it encounters.I didn't get much of a drop (if any) in coolant temps, but the underhood temps have got to be better which in turn should help contribute to sensors, hoses, and any other plastic or rubber pieces living longer.
Every little bit helps. If my hoses last a few months longer, then it's worth it to me. If all it does is blow hot air on my windshield in the winter time, then at least I get help de-icing...is it seriously that big of a deal to have ""lower" underhood temps? my hood is normally that hot because of the amount of direct sunlight that it encounters.
