So I'm doing a new turbo that's top mounted and instead of using my side exit that I had previously, I'm wanting to opt for a hood exit with a 4 or 5 inch pipe. However, I don't want this looking hacked up like some that I've seen. I want it clean looking. However, initially it'll be with my stock hood until I can afford a carbon fiber hood. So I'm not sure what would be best for cutting it and doing it cleanly. Not to mention that I don't want it just pointing straight up, but more of a 45 to 60 degree angle. I'm wanting the pipe to sit pretty flush and only stick out maybe 1/2". I'm running E85 so it burns pretty clean.
Just wondering what you guys would suggest that might be good for cutting the sheet metal that'll do a good job. Was going to go with a hole saw but that won't work if it's coming out at an angle. Not wanting any trim rings going around it either. That just looks tacky to me. Just the pipe, and the hood. Nothing more.
The other thing I'm thinking of is what to use to plug it up in the case that I'm stuck in the rain while either at the track or on my way to and from and it's on the trailer, or just simply trying to wash my car. Thoughts? Thanks!
