So, as some of you know, I blew up my last car, a Mercury Tracer, on purpose. (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6880935180792341124&hl=en) I REALLY liked the way it sounded. As Nathan so eloquently put it, "Run! There's a lion in the car!" I liked that. I decided to go and make my turd sound a little more lion-like. I knew a simple intake would add to the sound, but it still needed more... At the home of a coworker, we let our journey unfold.

Simple intake: some bits, pieces, and a cone filter.

But there's simply not enough roar when it's all hiding under the hood, right? Right. Problem solved.

An ungreased (this is very important) 9x13 brownie pan, slightly rusted.

A few minutes later and we have a fully secured and working hood scoop.

You guys think having rusted accents will be all the rage some day?

That is the most random shit I have seen in at least 10 minutes, bravo!

It's odd, my girlfriend was not upset about this at all.

in detroit, we called it another A name

You wish you were as stylish as the Chrysalis Highwayman.

Haha, awesome!!

Hey wotnartd, do you mind if I post this in the "You're doing it wrong" thread over in The Car Lounge? I think those folks over there would get a kick out of it.
