The evolution of the intake:
This was last year's mod. We realized since the plane doesn't have intercoolers, there was no reason for the intakes to run all the way back and around the engine. Rerouted the pipe and cut the pipe length and number of bends in half to reduce pressure drop and weight.
And this year, cut the pipe length and number of bends in half again. Andy had the idea while the engine was off the plane. Amazing how your perspective changes when a few pieces are missing. Realized we had been boxing ourselves in with the split intake. Once you cut the $3000 intake on a band saw, everything worked great.
