Hi All,
While thinking about a cold air induction setup, I got to wondering about the 'snorkel' and how efficient it would be with the bends in it. I'm thinking that the more direct the path = more efficient the intake. Is there much loss in flow with more bends (like I'm thinkin) or is the loss minimal?
In context, I was going to try a bit of a 'ram air' set up but this will require an extra bend, post filter, over a more tradional setup. Even with the extra bend it would have less directional change than a snorkel.
Anyone got a theory / educated guess / guide to go by?
