well known on BUGs too, usually on cramped engine bays where airflow cannot reach the rear of the engine very well.....

i didn't do this to look cool as some people state, car was over heating and when i stopped ther was usually smoke coming out. bonnet popped, cooler engine, cleard all the smoke.
there simple to make, i used exhaust brakets, measuared how far i wanted it raised, once i had done that i measuerd the centre point of each whole and made sure it was the same length i wanted it raised, hey presto, all done.
