Hey Guys. Some advice on this cowl vent idea. I have a 7a with a 4 pipe exhaust system. I've been told extra venting will be required, but don't like the look of louvers. I'm also in the composite business and think some carbon fiber vents would look really cool. Here's my idea.
So what do you think? Any thoughts on the overall size of vents required? I realize they may produce more drag then louvers but don't know how much. Will this basic design even work. I can mold and produce them without any problems but can use some opinons from the aerodynamic specialists out there. Thanks!
