That's all the cabin filter really seem to be good for - turning black and moldy. Buy some air freshener and leave it in your car.

I got you Brando. Ill fix your busted shiit.

Considering cutting holes into the strut towers to make the fender vents do their job. Would it help? Maybe. Is it worth drilling holes? Ehh.

The purpose of fender vents on high performance cars is to remove high pressue from fast spinning tires. It is not to vent heat from the engine, because well, heat rises and wouldn't vent out the side.

I know this. But what's to stop the air from being sucked out the vents at speed? And they don't relieve pressure. The fenders would need to connect to the engine bay for even that to work.

just get inferno hood, there done

its -8*C here and windchill is -21*C
and it snowed lastnight, and very light snowing right now.

I liked the weather fo rthe last week and a half, it was from light jacket to no jacket.

I plan on it. I have bills to pay first.

Factory venting is what would prevent the heat from going to openings in the strut towers.

Fender vents are designed to relieve pressure from the moving TIRES, not the engine compartment.

There are no openings in the wheel wells to allow pressure to escape through to the fender vents. I've looked. They're there for looks.

remember, its a pontiac, nothing is designed for functionality.

I was talking in general that is what they are designed for when they are actually functional.

It would be nice to make them functional.

I don't think it would make much difference.

I thought the vents on GXPs were functional. Guess not lol
