New Singular MotorSports Hood Vents

Post by Brian »

Why you should vent your Miata hood? Hoods vents are a key element to improving the cooling system effectiveness. Reducing the pressure behind the radiator creates a larger differential between the front and rear of the radiator. The larger the pressure differential, the greater the airflow through your radiator. Reducing underhood pressure also cuts down on lift under the front of the car, improving downforce.
Prior to this product, we didn't have any well designed vents made for the Miata. There are very few aftermarket hoods, and most of them weigh more than the stock hood. We ve all seen the DIY vent options out there, including grafting on vents from other cars. Most of these are less than ideal and run into problems as they are not intended for Miata hoods.

Singular carefully tested their design on the Miata. They started by investigating the pressure and airflow of the stock hood and then tested a number of existing venting options. They used the best performing vent we found as a benchmark and set out to beat it with a new design from the ground up.

Singular MotorSports started with a general design based around what should work well, then tweaked and tested until they arrived at the final version you see here. The result is a louver system including gurney flaps that reduces the pressure under the hood by a staggering 50%, fits NA and NB hoods with placement tailored to each model. These louvers work in the lightweight factory aluminum hood to minimize cost and you do not have to deal with poor fitment of aftermarket hoods, and does not sacrifice hood rigidity so that even the stock hood latch can still be used.

This is a DIY installation part. That said, Singular MotorSports gave careful thought to ease of install from the beginning and you get a full vinyl cutting template specific to the NA or NB Miata. The cut template removes the guesswork from your install, just stick it on and it shows you where to cut. Also included is rubber trim that fits around the circumference of the holes, making it easy to achieve a clean and finished look.

The louvers ship flat (unbent), you bend the fins when you receive them, and the finish work is up to you. Powdercoat will have great longevity, but even simple Rustoleum flat black looks fantastic.
