Doesn't really matter how efficient when the thing stops running on Eisenhower or Vail pass and you're off the side looking for snow to cool things down.

Couldn't care less what you think, I just couldn't figure out what you were trying to say on account of your poor sentence structure.

Is english your second language?

got these from a Ford T-bird turbo coupe ($10 and the pick-a-part) and turned them backwards (they face forward on the ford) - glued them on 5 years ago with black RTV and they will not come off



I can tell they definately vent the radiator heat well, always the first spot to melt snow and I can feel the air being pushed out them when the elec fan kicks on - they also follow the stock hood lines rather well - in a downpour the water dumps on top of the fuse box cover and the driver side inner fender (never had a problem yet)




You can also ebay -> NACA <- for a whole bunch of cheap ducts, while those are meant for taking air in, you can always turn them around to vent air out
