It's designed not to, for that reason.

Teaser shot of the Pyrex glass tube installed. I have to go grab some nice SS hose clamps, but it fit exactly like I pictured it. Dead center in between the two hose hold downs on the upper shroud!

Very cool for sure!
And it's awesome that your truck, much like myself can run on Absinthe.

I originally was going to get it from a local hotrod/performance shop, but he didn’t have a 1 1/4 tube.

I ended up grabbing it off of Ebay for 60.00. There was only two 1 1/4 pyrex glass tubes on Ebay, one with LED’s for like 70.00 something or just the tube itself for 60.00. No LED’s here lol so 60.00 version for me. He shipped it very quickly and it was packaged excellent.

I bought the same, thanks to Best's post.

If anyone is interested in buying, he might make a better deal outside of ebay.

Here is his email address, and his name is James:

I’ll probably grab myself another one for my 99 D2 so any kind of discount would be great!
