lol.....not quite a sheet metal plenum but i guess that'll work.
I bet if it was on an import everyone would be calling - RICE
By the way does the carb need to be adjusted for such use? Similar to a draw-through carbed/turbo system?

Flowmasters even make the intake sound cool.

Yup, many holes have to be filled to prevent pressurized air from escaping. Upgraded floats and probably a whole lot of other stuff I can't even think of. Would be easier to find a bigger muffler and put the whole carb inside it!

Carbs must be modified to be used as a blow through type system but it has been done for years. It's really an interesting solution to a twin turbo blow through as most use a supercharger and single "hat" on the carb. I give him an A for effort but we'll see how long that muffler holds up. Depending on how much boost he runs he might not be too happy in the near future if that thing grenades.
