EXACTLY what I was thinking! And that is 99% the case anyway... unless the fans are on AND you are running above 100mph lol.

I don't know how much restriction a one way valve would give though...

And I also thought about venting them to the wheel wells... but aren't we always trying to remove airflow from them with things like wheel skirts and flat moon discs? Why would we even think about adding more flow there it just contradicts everything I believe...
