Thoughts on through the hood system...

Been running a few design ideas for my 91 rs for a through the hood design that doesnt involve slip offs

Parts list includes
Pair of vette style ram horn manifolds
4 90 degree elbows
Pair of cherrybombs
Pair of flappers
Some 2.5" pipe

Basically, mount manifolds inverted, run a 90 towards the front, with a section of pipe followed by 2 90s to get it facing the cab into cherrybomb with a final 90 to point it back towards the sky with flappers of course the hood will be cut to display a portion of the exhaust system...

Re: Thoughts on through the hood system...

I'd be afraid of interior and window vibration causing terrible squeaks rattles.

On top of that I'd never want that on my car. Camaros can certainly get away with things a firebird never could but I just don't see it working on a good looking car.

I could say something about "trailer" but that probably wouldn't be very PC...
