I was under the assumption that is how you want to run them.

unless you want to re-design them completly, they exit the side....or they would be called something else...NASCAR uses them. for street use they would be too loud and obnoxious.

^ only people I've seen running it are NataSS Inc, another member (can't remember name, has a 396LT4 IIRC, big cam, etc.), and a local guy who had a bolt on LT1 (sounded alright, but complete overkill IMO for what he had :p)

I've heard it running on NataSS's car, it's ****** loud as hell. Sounds awesome on his ORR car, but damn, too loud for me for a daily driver.

Yep, my buddy is the guy from NC has a full 3 1/2" ovalized NASCAR boom tube setup on his car. It's a 387ish solid roller LT1 motor. He can also get boom tubes at his shop(actually has a crap load of them sitting there), so if you wanna try it out, just pm me and i'll get you in contact with him.
