Anyone flip their headers upside down and have stacks coming out of the hood?

EDIT:
Here it is!

But think of the weight you'd be saving without all that heavy exhaust pipe.

There is a Camaro at the begining of My Classic Car, that has headers poking through the hood with fire shooting out. That looks cool. (What can I say, I like fire.)

I have heard of bad ideas before, but this is bad. You know that hood is plastic, right?

When I look at the background of this picture why do I get the impression there is a trailer just out of view?

I live in a trailer, modular home, whatever. I bet you think your Vette is better than mine too. That the hood exhaust is ridiculus, but you insulted the person instead of the idea. No wonder some think Vette owners are azzes.

That person in the stacks on the stang did that for a Car show so when he did the burn-out contest he could shoot flames out the hood... Trust me that car could probably mop 95% of the vettes on this board.

About 100 yrs. ago - when I put header's on my 66 Impala, 57 Chevy, 70 Camaro and the 84 Monti. I put the headers on upside down to burn in the paint ( and respray ) for about 5 to 10 mins. - and to **** off the neighbors

When the vette headers go on in the spring Jet-hot-Coated or not I'll probably do the same thing --- new neighbors
