im gonna be going turbo in the next few weeks . i wanted to go with a hood exit . just worried about it raining and getting water in the up pipe

 

Don't take it out when it's raining? Maybe? Idk, just a thought.

 

put a tractor flapper thing on it. it will add hp too

 

I hope to god you're not going a hood exit on a street car. Like a stock LS turbo type street car.

 

lololol nahh not any more to much **** to worry about . people droping rocks in there , water not worth it tbh, and

BTW im upgrading pistons rods

 

Indy Cars run in the rain with the exhaust outlets facing straight up. But they don't sit around at traffic lights and such.

 

I did it for 2 years. Kept a coffee can in the back seat works great

 

I drove a hood exit on a weekend car for over a year, taking it out raining or not every weekend. Always carried around a small 90 degree pipe that i could quickly band clamp onto the hood exit if it started to drizzle. Would not have replaced the hood exit for anything, i loved it. Also a guy in my town daily drives a hood exit 500+ hp Ls Vtec. His exhaust goes down toward the ground about 5 in from the turbo before it goes up and back out the hood. Never had any issues. If im not mistaken he has a small 1/16 hole drilled in the bottom the the U turn so the rain could drain out. Didnt sound like crap or anything.

 

I daily drive my car with exhaust and wg out of the hood, just throw something over the pipe if it rains hard.

 

I also wonder about the water. Well maybe because the pipes are hot the water will dry up fast.

 

Lmao

 

So back on this topic I'm buying a civic b18 swap and I'm planning on putting a turbo on it I was thinking a hood exit exhaust. It would be my daily driver I live in Michigan so yes snow rain and all of that so hood exit or I was gonna do one going out the side of the bumper

 

If you are really worried about rain and snow then you shouldn't do a hood exit. Just have it exit from the side or out the bottom.

 

I agree if your that worried about it you should have it facing sideways. If your still insistent on having out the hood, I would recommend a flap cover. The way 18wheelers have it on their exhaust pipes.
