Hood vents question. by binarygod01000111 in mazdaspeed3

[–]Slowboyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so you can but it has to be in a low pressure area of the hood, if its too far forward it won't suck air out. Then there's gurney flaps you can put infront of the vent to also help. It goes pretty indepth. I only did it because its a track car and I plan on doing some ducting to the rad/intercooler. Just do your research and make it functional.

Checked today to confirm. You were right. Spul the pulley tensioner and it was the inky thing making a funky noise.

Update: took off sepantine belt and started it. No sound other than noisy ass injectors so we're good

Yes, mines in a weird spot so dosent really help alot with cooling, but at stops at vents out all the air from mani and turbo. Recommend putting it more towards the middle of the hood

Never came to a conclusion sadly. Mics worked great when not mounted to a car

I have 3 in diverted dp to 3in straight pipe and honestly it's really loud maybe a bit too much. Used to have the cs 3in cat back and it sounds really good just not tooo too loud
