I was gonna say what a silly way to route the dp, but I guess there’s no other way. If you wanted, is there enough room to route it on the other side of the brake booster and have it maybe come out of the bottom of the drivers side fender? Probably to late to do that now anyway.

nope, it’s the only good way.
Only other option it to wrap around the front of the motor… I could chop out the whole tunnel on the driver’s side, but i’d rather have it intrude into the passenger side of the car…

umm i think part of the dp should not be coated and a stainless steel cooking surface should be placed over it in the driver compartment.

the thermal characteristics of the white lightning appears to be superior to other coatings.

ugly white \< anything else.
why note just wrap it. the white is just to ugly for my liking to even think about performance with it
it stains easy and looks like garbage… i seen it first hand after oil and dirt have got on it and it doesnt look good. im sure the other coats are not that much of a difference and i still wouldnt leave it just coated id wrap it, esp going into the cabin

To bad you use heat wrap to keep heat off of things, aka wrap it around things you don’t want to get hot. Performance does and always will win over styling, aka the enzo, ugly as shit but it performs.

looks great, but i have a couple of (?). (not a big shock there)
1. has anyone ever made a “spliter” for the DP. say like two 1.5 pipes?
2. make an one cut out to the fender well.
