I know it's 100% illegal in most countries but honestly I've seen crazier swaps/mods but nothing like I mentioned and most of the people who own the 86 have another car as their daily.
The only thing I found is a video of an Arab guy having a hood exit exhaust and that's it. Here's the vid :
Here are some pictures I found online (examples):
It's my first thread so be nice ..

There is plenty of room.
One tiny rock away from a damaged turbo.
Some people value their hearing or breathing.
Some people don't want that much attention.
Some people actually want to be able to drive their car daily.
Some people don't want cut hoods.
