What is that extra exhaust pipe that is running down the bottom rail of the funny car do. Never seen it there before.....

It’s not exhaust, they come off the valve covers, merge together and go to the puke tank behind the driver.

Ahhhhh. I thought it was part of the Two Tenths Power Adder.

EGR tube

Those have been used by some teams for many years now.

i've seen this new system too and wondered why they don't vent thru frame rail like they used to?
or do some teams still vent thru frame rail? is the separate tube mandated now?

This isn’t mandatory. Some cars still vent them through the upper frame rails. This particular system has been used by Head, Force, and others for 5-7 years now.
