Hood Stack?

[b_r_a_d_79]

I've been tossing around the idea of putting a hood stack on my truck using a spare hood but after looking at it I don't see enough space to run a 4 inch pipe. The ac lines and intercooler tube seem to be in the way. Does anyone have any pictures of one they have installed? Just looking for ideas before I just decide against it.
Thanks

Its going to turn your truck black and washing it everyday is a PITA,Is it a DD street truck?

I'm not to concerned about the mess it will make and the truck is not a dd. it gets driven every now and again. The most miles it's seen lately is about 500 a couple months ago to break in the new trans. Not trying to be rude but please don't fill this thread up with abunch of posts about why this is a bad idea. I just would like to see how people have hooked their hood stacks up. Thanks

Just search "Hood Stack" You'll have to sort through a lot of shit, but there are a few guys here running hood stacks with single turbos. :thumb:

Your right about searching through a lot of stuff but from what I'm seeing it looks like the only way for me to do it by look at others pictures is to get a different y bridge and cold side intercooler. Right now I'm running stock lb7 bridge and pipe.

Thanks I haven't seen the first link yet but both have a different bridge and pipe than me so it's not looking to promising yet lol

A good friend of mine built mine, we did it all 4" I don't have ac though. I'll try and get some pics of it, we kept the heater hoses and everything!

This one is probably going to be your easiest option, unless you ditch a/c and get some stuff out of the way. If you do it the normal way, a sledge taken to the firewall can do amazing things for opening up room!

I'm not opposed to going that direction which would allow me to keep my ac but it won't clear my cold side intercooler tube with the ac still intact.
