My engine shroud blows the air straight down and blows dust everywhere, so I want to try these baffles I made up to blow it out my rear.
Can anyone see a reason why this would be a bad thing? Attached thumbnail(s)

T-1 engines used deflector tins similar to what you have created, instead of getting a blast of air straight down, you get it straight back. I would think this would help temps at idle if stuck in traffic, since if the hot air was just blowing striaght down, the heat would have a tendency to rise back up and get the engine hotter.
