i think the only thing that would be more awesome is if the turbos where hidden away in there. thats the plan for my buddies vette and then painting the warhawk and all that fun stuff to look like the stock motor lol. also we are using some stealthy stuff to make the piping look like its just for a cold air intake lol. it should be a fun project as soon as we get it off the ground.

The Warhawk is the same color as the stock block ? The only way to see the difference is looking from under the car.

Not AT ALL what I expected.

I was thinking big long sidepipes going back almost to the rear tires.

I think that setup you have looks badass.

I am still debating weather I should shroud the pipe. I can make a cool design and have it water jet, then polished. I just don't want to circle the bulls eye for cops.
