Rear mounted tubo on V8's? Any good?

wasn't this kit meant for the new vettes who had no room in the front?

Exactly.

I see no benefit from using a kit like this unless you just have zero room under the hood. It was probably designed for that purpose. The performance pros and cons aside, if at all possible why would you want an extra 15 feet of piping running under your car if you didn't have to? It's not like 3 in pipe is all that easy to tuck underneath a car already. Why would you want more stuff possibly scrapping the pavement?

Seriously, if you don't have the room is one thing. But if you do, why bother?

And also... it's much easier to get to little things like spark plugs and doing minor work to the car without manifolds and charge piping in the way.
