Well, my manifold sat too high and it started melting the fiberglass and cf portion too. I was getting irritated and it looked like ****. So I had a genious idea, why not cut it out. But since it was on one side I couldn't think of anyway to cut it. Until one day I raced an evo and beat him, and after seeing him behind me I was like OOO CHIT... Why not cut it like an evo hood?.... SO I did and this is how it turned out because of a really good friend who helped me.... tell me what you think!!!

 

 

its very nice and all, but its too visible for the theifs

other than that

 

Not bad at all, but rain would concern me

 

hahah your ***** gonna get jacked.What i would do is make something that fits over the vents like the VIS EVO carbon hood get smething like that,it covers the holes and also gets airflow in there,then you will be gangster.Hehe

my question has been asked already ........RAIN???

 

That's some pretty even cutting. I like it.

 

Nice job on the cuts, it looks really clean. Theives and rain would be a concern though.

 

+1 for rain question.

 

Looks good, but

**** rain, what about snow?

I'm assuming large amounts of water landing on that piping will stress it due to rapid cooling and crack the welds....

 

Looks good, but im gonna have to ask the same question as the rest..

bingo!

 

the welds are guaranteed not to crack, so if it cracks I get it replaced or fixed for free... as far as snow, I will put stock hood back on when it snows. As far as for rain, i still have the cf parts i cut out and i always carry duck tape. So put the cf part on and close with duct tape. Shouldn't be bad

 

what,,,, duck tape.well kinda get-O but what ever works. go get some vents! NICE cuting job it looks pro. i like it because it kinda shows off your **** but not to much. its def. not a sleeper.

 

yeah, and i thought that huge fmic might hint to a turbo

 

looks like ****, but i guess function over form, right?

well, its an F22b2 with equal length tubular manifold for starters

well , yeah you can tell that because its got a big *** cut out of the fat carbon fiber hood, right ??? so can you cut the stock frunt bumper to fit the FMI or do you even need to ?

 

Can you go with a chicken mesh that is more tight, so you cant see as easy in? Would be better concealed. BTW&lt; how do the stock evos hoods look? (must be sealed in a certain way..)

 

the stock evo hood is cut out just like that, but it has louvers underneath it to deflect water and stuff

 

Yknow rushdee, I got some DEI header wrap to go with my Neuspeed header, it's supposed to cut down on heat, haven't done it yet, but i've heard nothing about good things, supposed to cool down the engine a lot, and I bet it would make it safer to run an open hood like that, why don't you try that too?

Yeah I'm thinking about doing that because alot of heat is escaping from the manifold which is good to keep the bay cool but the heat isn't staying inside the manifold so there is a little bit of power loss. I'll probably heat wrap it once I start building the engine. It should turn out decent
