This is excellent. Not just the Midget mods but the trip to Japan. That grab a camera and go style reminds me of old MCM. This was really great to watch.

[@TravisFabel]

Old but also, only new MCM could do this. Think about it. They have a major film crew that wants to use one of their cars for a car commercial for one of their sponsors, so they have to call friends they have made literally another country and go fly over there, to pull together all the parts.... It's only by being great guys to everyone around them that all these people are willing to work with him for them to do this Looney tunes thing. Lol I love it.

[@siraff4461]

@@TravisFabel I didn't really mean the whole trip thing (though thats cool too). More the whole vibe of it. The "we're off to Japan for parts" now could easily have been "we're off to supercheap" from years back. I knew it would be a great episode when they said the first step is to jack up your car.

[@paranormalextract4976]

The exhaust hose is probably a preheater to help get things up to OT, awesome video dudeZ!

[@Anaerin]

Or it's some kind of EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system to help improve fuel economy.

[@TravisFabel]

If the exhaust is blocked off from it and it's just connected to it with a dead end, it's likely a preheater. They used to use these on the cars in the US back in the 1970s and early '80s... Often the hose was pretty short because it just had to go from the top of the exhaust manifold heat shield to the bottom of the intake snorkel on the v8s.

It's turning into commercial tv, top gear mods. When they pretend to have deadlines for drama

Maybe not Lee. Media has absurd deadlines. Most producers have a great idea after it's practically too late to implement. "A issue isn't really an issue, if I can throw money at it to make it go away"

[@boxhead6177]

I just want to understand the production of these commercials, scripting, location scouting, scheduling crew and equipment, months of planning... Moog also probably spent weeks preparing the music track for the advert. Leaves the main piece, the car till the week before... EVERYTIME!!! Or is it the production company that just dumps it on their lap each time. Like this is the third or fourth time right!

[@mightycarmods]

@@boxhead6177 we dont know whats required of us until a few weeks out, only once the idea for the ad has been locked in do we know what kind of car we can put together. No fake deadline drama here, why would we need to pretend that? So the comments section can whinge about it? no thanks!

@@mightycarmods Cool. I don't believe in fake deadline drama, but thats such a tight and unforgiving turn around... that either shows a lot of confidence and enthusiasm for everyone that it will work.

[@Blazerdoom169]

Great video as always! The exhaust hose is an old cold start helper, warm air saturates easier. They show up often on carbureted V8 Chevys.

[@BMSThomas]

You peeps just keep turning out awesome story after story!! Love it so much. Thanks for the amazing video and hyped for part 2!!

[@ouch1011]

The hose between the exhaust and the intake is pretty common on carbureted or throttle body injection engines. Not only does the vaporization of the fuel and resulting temperature drop lead to icing, but the low temperature also causes the fuel to condense in the manifold and head. Since liquid gasoline doesn’t burn, condensed gasoline doesn’t burn. So, they use the heat surrounding the exhaust pipe to warm up the intake air. Pretty much every carbureted car will have some form of this. Some will run heat ducting from the exhaust to the intake. Some will run exhaust through a separate passage in the base of the intake manifold. Was not expecting to see a trip to Japan in this video. I’m heading back there this summer (only my second time going) and this made me super excited to see it again. Such an amazing place!

Yo Moog the music track that you start at time stamp 08:13 is straight fire. It reminds me of Amon Tobin. One thing that I've always said is your guys’ positioning and choice of music styles per episode has always been great. I'm not sure which one of you edits these, but the flowing in and out of narrative voice, time lapses, and music switches really helps me stay engaged.
