I'd be afraid of driving that thing.

There is no excuse for that if you ever get pulled over...

I guess he doesn't need a heater... though it'll suck to drive in the summer!

And it'll really suck if he gets in a wreck and those bars don't manage to seperate his exposed skin from that exhaust work.

That's really pretty ghetto... why not run it under the car???

It's pretty inefficient as well. Running all the hot stuff inside, where heat can't get out. Not to mention that your turbos have to send the air back up front.

They could have a ton of reasons why he did it inside. Maybe he has no room under the hood for twins, IDK.

I thought the floor panel was cut showing some street between the plumbing. I wouldn't want to drive through any puddles either. All the grit that must get pulled into the car while driving...he'll need a respirator with his Nomex suit.
