New to the 951 scene.
Anyone here add louvers to their hood for heat extraction?
Pics please

 

Here are some. The hood is VERY dusty in the first pic.

 

I've got the same ones as George above. They certainly work visibly at rest after lapping. You can see a haze of heat rising up through them. Not sure at speed but I'm confidant that they're doing something then also. David Floyd is the only person I've seen with old school vents in a pressed metal style on a stock hood. I'm sure if you do an advanced search under Vents in this 944 turbo forum a picture of his will be in there somewhere.

 

These vents work, period. Whether you cut, and bend, cut and install ready made molds, makes little difference unless you FU the direction they should be cut.

 

Ha, yes, I've seen the same vents as ours installed backwards. The guy didn't even know it. I tried to tell him but I think he was more concerned about looks over functionality.

 

www.GenesisTechnologies.com makes nice ones in carbon fiber in two sizes. IFC made me a 16 pound hood with louvers and turbo outlet vent if you want to go that way.

 

Where did you get yours Patrick?

 

We both got them from D9.

 

That link doesn't go to any vent maker Lanny. Do you have a pic of Mike's hood?

Coincidentally, I just received an email from Mike today. Go figure.

 

Is this the site Lanny? Genesis Technologies

 

These are the ones I just purchased for my car:

They are very nice.

Sure is.

 

 

Yep, old school Hot Rod 101, look for a louver shop, have your stock hood punched.. I'm going to have a engine lid for one of my 914-6s done (not the matching numbers one.

 

I had my local Porsche centre cut these vents into my hood.
did a really nice job, styled on 911 flatnose.
