Exclamation Hood Stack

So, we are toying with building a "Hood Stack" kit. Most likely availble in 5, 6, and 7" straight or miter cut styles. My question is would you rather see an easy bolt on style application, or a weld on application? Let's hear your feed back please!

Thanks in advance!

LOL that's cool you have a spare hood,...actually that's a pretty good idea. Especialy if you pull with your daily driver.

Hmm...only problem with using it for fun...what would you do about the hole you just cut in your hood? The hood stack is ideal for the racer's or truck pullers. Seeing that almost ALL of the pulling and racing orginizations are mandating a "turn up exhaust exit", so we think besides dual stacks, and single stack set ups, we should do a hood stack, and maybe a turn up tip for guys who don't want to run a stack set up.

Cool, hopefully we'll have something to offer to make it a little easier on you.

Hmm...stainless cover...not a bad idea. With the mounting system I thought of for the stack, we could probably do something like this....good idea thanks!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE keep the ideas coming. We are listening.

Make a bolt on I have a couple spare hoods that i can cut up so the convienvce of a bolt on would be the best. I would use it at pulls and stuff like that but i also wanna keep my truck street legal so bolt would be the best way to go
