Default Where to put blowdown tube?

I have my bottle mounted on my cover for the rear compartment (c5). I wanted to know if I should just cut in the cover and make it look like the blowdown tube is going to go under the car or should I just drill a hole and run it underthe car. I just want to make it past the tach at the track (Milan Dragway). What should I do?

ps
My bottle is kinda how robert56's is but mines further back.

drill it through the tub. Listening to a blow-off valve going off in a vette isn't my idea of fun

Default Can it be a Flex line

Can the blow down tube be partial or all Flex line ?

I need to make a slight turn to hit the hole in my GTO's spare tire well.

Plus I cut the hard line a little too short to reach the hole I drilled

There's a small drain hole in the bottom of main well, I just drilled it out for braided line and passed tech ok. Didn't pass before it was routed out of car.
You can use flex line all the way if you want.
