[CCOlotti]

Anyone done or looked into these with the towing heat issues? Other options you’ve seen?

I went and ordered the these I like the look better they said the install is similar to the poison spyder but we shall see how they work out

I would like to see some independent third party testing like the Southwest Research Institute or similar company on these types of vents. I personally do not think they do much if anything other than aesthetics.

I run a set of S&B vents on my Rubicon that is more of a ram air vent and really see nothing of any significance in cooling the engine as I think that is more due to the engine design and cooling system than any engine bay passive heat venting.

Where the stock "vents" are located should be an area of low pressure above the hood. Having vents there rather than ram air should allow the higher pressure air that's under the hood escape through the vents.

You'd be better off having a ram air intake either at the leading edge of the hood or back at the base of the windshield.
