Not only to the running conditions for the car but it has to help the longevity of the engine bay components, hoses and harnesses etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a venturi effect, air gets sucked out of engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Will it cause a problem in the rain? The vents in the plastic grill, what is that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also took seal off my old 300zx and the underbonnet temps dropped heaps, the inlet manifold on it used to get real hot and after I took seal off, I did a 3hour drive and popped bonnet and I could hold my hand on the manifold easy as. Try it, you can always put seal back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
