    I would love to relocate my breather cans but can't seem to find an underhood breather. Apprantly very rare.

    Not sure how I could relocate the exhaust stacks and still look right for a Pete.

    I have seen a couple short hoods and 378 with no breathers. And moving exhaust and keeping the looks are kind of contradicting

    Wouldn't the breather from a 386 work? There's a Jade transport truck 0921-SLR.jpg that uses the hood scoops from a Subaru on each side for the air intake, but I've never seen the hood up on that truck to see what they did for the filters. It also has the stacks removed with the standard filler plates in their place.

    Did you also remove all of the badging from the truck? That way, the problem wouldn't be circled? Lmao
