enginecover

[Koody]

This summer i took the engine-cover off because i wanted to hear the engine roar while driving.

Now we all know winter is coming. Is it advisable to put the cover back on the engine to preserve engineheat and protect the ccv-valve against the cold or shall i just leave the cover off and enjoy the v8-music.. what do you guys think?

Well that cover really only serves as a sound barrier. The CCV is far enough back that convection will occur as the head hits the firewall and then circulates back through. I think you should be fine.

what? seriously? how much more growl can be heard? didnt know this. also i drove around without a hood for a few weeks and that really brought out the sound especially with the CAI
