Default Functional hood louver not cosmetic like from factory.

Does anyone know where i can get one that actually lets my engine release hot air. My supercharger likes to cook everything under there i already tried a heavy duty fan clutch it worked a little better but not where its comfy for me to make long trips in my bad boy. ={

It will release the hot air when you drive it down the road

If seen a few people cut open the center hood louver, but you get alot of **** in your engine bay then.

Is it just radiating more heat? or your engine running hot? What blower are you running?

I have a magna charger it doesnt overheat but goes to about 3/4s of the way but u could roast a chicken in there XD. But now that its cooler here in ny it never passes the middle and i usually fly down the highway in my toy. It really justs seams like it only happens with the ac on and myself visiting inlaws in boston.

I think I saw a H3 owner a while back, who modded his fake louvre to let air out...or might have been an H2 louvre installed on an H3. I guess you could cut slots into the plastic and cover them up with some mesh grill....but then the heat shield will still be in the way and if it rains, it will go right into the engine compartment unless some sort of shield covers the inside of the hood. I am sure it is possible to do, just takes some planning...do a google search and look at some other makes out there with funtional louvres. Maybe you can copy their ideas. Indy

No man...if your running hotter get the upgraded radiator, dont even **** around w/ the hood vent... About $900- Its pricey, but you will want to ****can the internal tranny cooler (you will need an external, there are coldweather specific models) so you will eliminate the issue of turning your tranny into **** by getting antifreeze in it.

Tell them you want it without the internal tranny heat exchanger.
