best bet is probably a 100mm bendy pipe, like tumble drier outlet pipe or something, one end near tb's, one end behind bumper/in lower grille or something

may have to move your battery though

Would have to put some thought into it, but my first idea was to do some modding and have the TBs fed from under the scuttle, maybe have to convert to single wiper but I can picture it in my mind...
