Hardware Kit, Hood Louver Kit - Mazda Miata MX5 (ND)
The Verus Engineering hood louver kit helps reduce engine bay heat and pressure.
During the design process; we wanted to utilize the OEM hood. This resulted in a product that retains the hood's structural rigidity and ensures the hood retains its shape after years of use.
This hood louver kit is for the ND Miata owner looking for a purposely placed, built, and tested louver kit that weighs less than most carbon vent hoods.

SCIENCE
We have heard from multiple track day enthusiasts that they are killing their ignition coils. These malfunctioning coils are thought to be caused by overheating. Our hood vents dramatically reduce under hood temps and the air around the ignition coils as well. These louvers will also reduce pressure build up in the engine bay, also known as hood flutter. The side benefit would be a slight increase in front-end downforce, something we cannot simulate in CFD currently, nor do we think it major enough to make a large note of it. It is highly recommended to use wickers to increase evacuation.
