Wouldn't these louver vents negate the sound insulation ? I think using a remote temperature thermistor with charting capabilities located in the engine compartment both before and after insulation is installed would indicate if in fact the engine compartment temp is increasing to a critical point. Monitoring cylinder head temp would also help.
