Seriously. Just the perfect touch on that car.

If I was anywhere close I'd contemplate paying you to let me wipe your car down with a shammy...just to be close to it.

....and if it would have been on a 1955 bel air, we would have called it a gasser! ....but...it's on this car and it's badass!

p.s. the reason it would be called a ricer if it was on an import is because a stock import does not put out enough exhaust to need something like this. if it was an 850hp import, nobody would say anything about it being a ricer. if it was on a stock f-body it would look like a ricer too. if you have the power to back it up, it awsome!

Wrong. If it was on a 7 sec import we'd be saying cool as well.

I agree to say no to bullhorns...they look AWFUL,

but I don't personally like the zoomies either...they just don't look right if you don't have a big *** blower on top the engine

Looks very good. Looks like they help with ground clearance.

Looking through your build pic's and noticed a throttle body on the intercooler,
is the a backup in case the one on the elbow fails?

Only 1 T/B and it is on the intercooler.

Is there a functional stand point behind these? I think they look better than the bull horns.
