Extractor Hood & 3" Exhaust Whoring
 
Thanks to Scott and Brian for rigging up this deal, but I picked up my primed and ready for paint Erebuni hood this weekend from VA beach. Pending fitment, 150 dollar extractor hood ftw.

Pretty awesome deal, those hoods look awesome installed.

Zabac 10-22-2007 09:53 AM

It'll fit, you just gonna need to trim it a bit though...and forget the grill in there as well, it'll grind down your valve cover

y8s 10-22-2007 10:03 AM

haha yeah like dan's.... hood doesn't actually fit the front of the motor.

Braineack 10-22-2007 10:12 AM

it actually fits now without trimming needed after he installed his MMR mounts.

Zabac 10-22-2007 11:05 AM

really? well im Dan too but i assume you are not talking about me
i do need to get some of those MMR mounts though, mine are starting to go out
I have about 1-2mm of clearance now, does the other dan have a 1.8 or 1.6, i think it makes a difference

Newbsauce 10-22-2007 11:10 AM

Dan has a 1.6

fourwhls 10-22-2007 11:14 AM

What a deal! Where did you get that?

Hope it works better for you, than it would have for me. Nice to meet you Brad.

I'd like to see some pictures (detailed) once it's installed.

Braineack 10-22-2007 11:16 AM

fourhwhls, needs pics of your garage asap!

fourwhls 10-22-2007 11:19 AM

It's just a little shack in the back yard.

...I'll see if I can find some.

Zabac 10-22-2007 11:25 AM

shacks in back yards make for great keggers, i hope its as good for a garage

Newbsauce 10-22-2007 12:30 PM

Hah he's being a bit modest. He has quite the little setup there in his backyard and it caught me completely off guard.

Braineack 10-22-2007 12:32 PM

oh no. Brad's 3" exhaust FTW!

Loki, hood was a local sale :rofl:

cjernigan 10-22-2007 12:36 PM

That muffler is huge, does it bang against that cross member at all?

Braineack 10-22-2007 12:37 PM

same size as mine, only angled. Pic doesn't show the clearances very well, a lot more room than mine actually.

Newbsauce 10-22-2007 12:44 PM

Actually the exhaust does not rattle even the tiniest bit. The shop that did it (Whitey's Automotive) in Chantilly, did a fantastic job. They took off and milled my 3" DP Flange, added a flex section, added a transmission brace, heated the tranny tunnel are and added more clearance, and basically did one fantastic job. I'm taking my car back tomorrow morning since he offered to remove the seized axle problem and do the torsen swap while its up for VERY cheap.
