Default Hood Stack

How do you like a hood stack on a car? Instead of dump under hood or through the fender.

Something like the one on this Duramax.

Unfortunatly that truck is no more.
Compound twin turbo setup and stock longblock just get along.

I would do it if I couldn't clear a big enough downpipe. I was just trying to talk a friend into getting a beat up v6/Z28 hood. Cut a hole and run a 4-5" stack..not a friggin truck stack but maybe 2" tall over the hood. It would avoid issues with clearance and burning things. That would be easy as hell to swap for the track.
