OVERVIEW

The Verus Engineering Hood Louver Kit helps reduce engine bay heat and pressure. By improving the flow out of the engine bay, the louvers are able to improve airflow through the radiator and other cooling accessories, achieving better cooling stack efficiency. When reducing the pressure buildup in the engine bay, the louvers reduce front end lift as well, creating a slight bump in front end downforce. Our louvers all incorporate optional wicker which dramatically increases their functional efficacy when in use.

Adding the louvers is a great way to improve the performance of the vehicle while adding an aesthetic flair to the hood.  We offer rain guards for most hood louvers as an optional accessory.

SCIENCE

Utilizing CFD, we were able to place the louver in a low-pressure location on the hood, increasing the effectiveness of the louvers. Using scan data during the design phase, we were able to create a louver that follows OEM body lines while reducing the amount of structural material removed.  This ensures the hood's structural rigidity is maintained while the louvers look to be part of the hood's overall design.

Underhood temperature is an issue with Z's and our hood louvers greatly decrease these temperatures by evacuating the hot air in the engine bay and pulling in cooler air from the radiator/grill area.  This improves cooling stack efficiency by increasing the pressure delta between pre and post cooling stack.  Another benefit of the louvers is a reduction in front end lift by reducing the underhood pressure.  This is also known as downforce!
