without trying to go into great detail my cab or box is almost finished and I'm in the last parts the intake being one of them .. I need to have 2 more 6" holes for my passive intake they will go on a side of the cab that is about 6" from the rooms wall where there is a register vent to pull cold air into the closet into the cab . It's a straight 6"gap from wall register to intake holes . My concern is light leaks (into the cab). The six inches doesn't give me enough space to connect a few 6" 90s to solve this .
while looking around home depot I found these hooded exhaust vents with a freemoving damper

I was wondering does anyone have any experience with these the hooded side would have to be on the inside of the cab does anyone think they would reduce airflow ? And if i painted them black between that and the damper and some black pantyhose stretched across for a filter and light block solve any light leak in issues ? My other small question is my exhaust duct is insulated but only 3 ft from cabs roof to celing where its being exhausted into the attic . My inline fan is 315 cfm I'm wondering how loud it will be with just have a 6" take off collar , hat collar wherever you call it connecting the insulated duct to the celing ( the air movement not vibrations) . Should I use some sort of chimney cap in my attic over the exhaust hole to quote this ? Or maybe a 6" to celing/wall register ?
I welcome all tips and advise to solve this problems
thanks in advanced
