    I"ll laugh at you if you try it. Imagine how loud the leaf blower would be at idle while waiting for a stop light. You'd get quite a few looks and some pointed laughs. :D

    You'd be better off with a electric leaf blower and a heavy-duty alternator. Hook it up to a high-wattage inverter and you could turn it on and off as necessary.

    You guys just made my day.

    On a more serious note, one can just re-route the intake into the cabin where you can turn on/off the blower and naws if you feel like you need the extra boost.




    OMFG WHAT HAPPENED TO MY AVATAR!?!?!?!? FUXING YUNA IS HAWT!!!111!!!!111!!!

    I don't think so. I think you would see a spike in the graph and know that's when the fart made it. All you would really need is a visit to your local mexican restaurant and go test it out. :thumb:
