Hood louvers
So, I recently got some hood louvers to help cool the engine down. My question is which direction should I face them? Do I face the opening forwards or backwards? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

open back to have a good exit for the air thats already pushed into the bay. having the exits back there will be a good exit point for the hot air.

The '98 5.9L Grand Cherokee came stock with louvers in the hood. If you look closely, they face rearward to let air out.
Here's the louvers removed, with drip trays:
And as they came installed from the factory:

I actually have 3 of them. I have put 2 towards the front and 1 towards the back in the middle of the hood. I was thinking of putting the 2 up front facing forwards and the back 1 facing rear.
