Been a long time since I saw side pipes on anything other than a jeep or a vetted! Very cool!

One of my high school buds back in the early 80s had a twin to yours!! Flashback!!
Yes just put that hood onAre the intakes closed off?
Speaking of hood scoops, I've been considering putting a hood scoop on my 72 Charger's flat hood as a temporary measure, since I figure it will cost around $3000 to put a Ramcharger hood on. Here are some I've found around the internet -

I'm not sure if this one is another 440 6-Pack scoop or a Mustang scoop -

It looks like it slants down more in the back than the 6 pack scoop, but that could be the angle/lighting/low quality photo.
Some say the 440 6 Pack scoop is too clunky to match the Charger's curvy styling. It's so tall, it might be difficult to autocross with. It's the most correct of the bunch, although my car isn't a 440 and i don't intend for it to be.
The 69 Super Bee scoops are interesting, but the underhood plumbing would be difficult.
If the B-body is a "big E-body," than the E-body scoop is incorrect but a little correct. It fits the Charger's lines better than the 440 6-pack scoop.
My personal favorite is the Duster scoop. It's not "correct" but it's still a MOPAR scoop, and I've always liked the twin snorkel look. It's cleaner than the E-body scoop and 440 6 pack scoop, since it doesn't have the external mounting flange.
I don't have any idea what the issues are with hood scoop installation. Cutting out the center crease must weaken the hood, but clearly people do it.
I also wonder about driving a scoop in the rain. The factory made these things though so I guess water ingestion isn't a problem.

Yes!Are you sure you're getting enough air through those scoops?
