[QUOTE="Brad, post: 1332890, member: 4683"] Ok so on my trip to Stop&Shop I did a half fast test of my own. I had to remove the vent so I could see the fan. My top speed was about 50MPH, I placed the fan in the center of the opening, and covered the rest of the area with tape. At 30MPH the rate at which it was spinning was pretty quick, about what you’d expect to see if it were plugged in. At 50 I had to pull over because the fan was getting a little unstable, maybe I needed more than just tape, at this speed while it was still mounted it looked like it was spinning pretty damn fast. My half fast conclusion is this isn’t doing anything but inhibiting the volume of air which is naturally extracted though the vents. I could be wrong, no question, but based on this test I wouldn’t bother doing this… You could take the next step and data log ran RPM speed at various speeds, but that's too much work for me. Also one last thing I’d fell like a complete loser popping my hood at a local show only to reveal 4 cpu fans under there. but whatever haha. [/QUOTE]
