And no scoop, that area gets air from the scuttle.

but ripping the bulkhead out lets the hot air from the engine get back there

to be fair, if you've ever turned the blowers on in moderate heat, the scuttle panel area is surprisingly cold, not sure if it'd be the same with it cut out and/or unsealed though

I'll be drilling a hole enough for the silcone hose to go through, i wont be chopping the bulkhead

we drive tractors round with the side windows open just to hear the throaty exhaust noise......
our lorries just sound boring these days, we had a v8 scania with a stack... that was engine porn.

my nova just sounds like it has a leak somewhere, cos it does........
