Default Hood Vents (Rubicon and 10th Anniv)

Hi--The JK Rubicon and 10th Anniversary hoods have (basically) fake hood vents, with just a 3/4 sq inch drain hole between the engine compartment and the outside air. S&B Filters has solved this problem for newer JL and JT models, but have nothing for JK... Yet... I reached out to S&B Filters and was told that if enough JK owners reach out to them and express an interest in the equivalent scoops for the JK hoods, they'd seriously consider building them.

Benefits are cooler engine temps, cooler intake air, and using their pipe, you can effectively have a ram-air system. Several YouTube videos (such as Beast Projects) claim a very noticeable difference in this cold ram-air intake.

Any interest? Contact S&B Filters!

This. That's what I did on mine. Then drilled out the holes in the honeycomb for more airflow.

I'm still searching for a viable aftermarket hood vent(s) for the "other" power dome hood offered on the Altitude package and other various JK packages. I know the vents from daystar won't work. Any other options?
