"Looks" nice from an elegant visual design standpoint but I'm wondering how it flows and whether or not it accomodates velocity stacks.
It looks constricted to me forcing a 90 degree airflow change and potential for turbulence just before the venturi. However, I've seen CFD on other designs that I thought didn't look optimal and they performed well both in CFD and later on during validation testing. This is the sort of stuff that I think the company needs to provide CFD and/or dyno proof before I'd shell out $1000 for what is esentially a pretty air filter. |
