X5K - Hood Louver Kit
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 louvers in an area of low pressure. This improves the evacuation and function of our hood louvers. Our hood vents dramatically decrease underhood temps by relieving hot air from the engine bay and cooling system. 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. It is highly recommended to use the supplied wickers to increase evacuation.
