I think a lot of folks are following this thread just out of academic interest to see where it goes, and what it does on a dyno, but as far as making all the concessions necessary to actually make it fit their own car, very few will bite if the hood can't accommodate it tastefully.

Just my two cents...
Or people can stop being a bunch of pansies and just cut their hood or have a fabrication shop fab a hood for them which is honestly not that big of a deal. People spend thousands on exhaust systems cf hoods and body panels as it is already.
