Default Interior heat

When I'm cruising with the windows down, the heat coming off the motor is uncomfortable. I know this is a common problem, just wondering what some of you have done to battle this?

lol that was my fix.I dont think there is really a fix. its kinda the nature of the beast. you could wrap the exhuast with exhuast wrap. which may help a little but i dont think its gonna cure all of it. and it will be a pain in the *** to install.

the engine heat is usually cooler then the are hear in tucson but I usually drive with my windows up and ac on in the day at night its windows down and top down and I never really notied the heat.

Edit: and I think this should be in the general section!

Just get in there and put that heat wrap people put around their intakes to keep the heat away. Take the carpet out a little and there you go. Should help a little but also the heat coming from your tranny like your ebrake. you can also try from the engine bay
