Did refresh my KN engine and cabin filters. Have these guys for 50K now and no problems.
I am doing this every 10K for the cabin and every 15K for the engine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Isn't it great? I stuck a thin rubber pad to the top bracket in between it and the hood. Just instinct.

They raise temps underneath.
Honestly, I don't know. I never considered tunnel temps before reading @rice_classic's tales of melted CV boots and hot transmissions.

It would be cool if a company made a vent like the Civic Type R has. I BELIEVE it’s purpose is to ram air straight into the transmission tunnel. This then creates a low pressure area or some other magic and can then begin to suck the engine bay heat into the transmission tunnel. |

Maybe there's no difference underneath. I almost feel bad for mentioning it.

The main reason I want some heat relief from the vents is the freshly installed Oil Cooker.
