[QUOTE="D Potts, post: 934886, member: 66285"] Functional becasue the vents in thier current location are not there for BRINGING IN air, but instead used for REMOVING hot air from the engine bay. (much like the 04 cobra extractor hood) And it does a reeally good job if they are made functional! In ADRENALIN22's case, his STA has TRUE functional vents. Meaning that the air is not only extracted form the engine bay but has also been made to FLOW THROUGH....bringing air into the filter location through the front grille and FLOWS over the fitler and extracted out the side fender. This in turn allows for a constant cool airflow over teh filter at high speeds. There IS a heat shield on his truck that seperates hot air from the filter side. Notice in the picture the heat shield meets to the side of the engine bay wall in the middle of the opening to the fender vent! [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [/QUOTE]
