Exhaust straight out the top of the hood!!!!!!

JKing but this 2.8 is going to kick so serious ass when you are done.

Just have to keep it looking like a sleeper ranger until a mustang thinks that can kick your ass or another truck with a larger engine.

I second that preston, did this build die on the forums? I am interested to hear how that combination is working out.
