Default Hot hood...

As if it wasn't worse before, the new manifold makes my hood soooo hot its crazy. Today, in the rain, I could see a lot of steam coming up as the rain would fall near the area of my manifold. Is it safe to have the hood this hot with the ramhorn mani underneath it?

It might not hurt to wrap the manifold with some heat wrap, and then put a reflective heat shield on the hood. At the very least, it will save your paint come summer time...

Do you really wanna know? :P


Well actually the night before I just fixed my digital camera, broken LCD, and a replacement was $170 But don't worry, I didn't pay that much, that's why it took 3 months before I got it going again. Well I just got out the shower and decided to take a pic for you guys.
