I think they look a little goofy so I'll leave it to you guys. One good point is theres plenty of filter capacity compared to the old dinky filter.

lets do some math!
what was the diameter of the old filter, and how tall was it? 2" x 12"? formula for surface area of said cylinder filter. 2 x pi x r x h 2x3.14x6x2 = 75.4 square inches of filter zone..... what size hose? 2" ID? 2 hoses x area of circular hose cross section. 2*pi*r^2 2 x 3.14x1^2 6.3 square inches...... you are trying to make your motor breathe through a straw.... |

Not a (real) engineer here, but shouldn't you be comparing the size of the tubes to the size of the throttle opening? Having asked that, even assuming the throttle opening is only 4" dia (12.5 sq"), the tubes are still like straws. But at least they're jumbo straws and not those little curly straws like in a shape of a bunny or something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
