That’s an interesting thought, I’ve never really thought about how incoming air is designed to continue through the engine bay into the tunnel, cooling the transmission and other various drivetrain pieces in the process. Or whatever fwd has aft of the engine.

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.
