Default purging through ram air nostrils

sorry if this has been asked a million times.. hell I probably asked it way back when but forgot the answer in spring my WS6 will be equipped with da N20 and I remember seeing a photo online a long time ago of a WS6 purging through the ram air but it looked like it was photoshopped to me so I was wondering if this really can be done..it would look pretty cool ..thanks for the help

The only problem I see is accidently sucking some nitrous back into the motor.

i think everyone with a ram air hood has thought about this. and yes it is possible
now reckless, have you tried putting a piece of tubing at the end that is smaller than the rest of the line? i would think that may make the "plume" spread out a little more and look cooler

The lines I have coming out now ar stainless -3an tubes. I was wondering if crimping the ends some would help fan out the purge a little (horizontally).
