Default cooling the engine bay

hey, I've noticed that the engine bay of the tib is very hot, is there a way to make it colder, as a newbie I have no idea if making the engine bay colder will help in any way, I have already an HP CAI, but the question still remains. :zzz:

Get a set of hood vents. They'll drag the heated air ot of the bay when your driving, and when you're standing still, well uhhhh hot air still rises the last time I checked, dunno about today though.

I was surprised at how hot they run... The plastic facia in front of the cat in my Accent has melted...

Just so you know.. you don't want to wrap up the stock manifold. It'll just crack and you'll be screwed... If you have aftermarket headers, wrap away!
