Re: Smooth intake hoses (buell_freak)
I'm interested. You'd have to think smoothing out the airflow would have to have some positive effect no matter how minute it may be. Where'd you get them?
I thought somebody here had used chopped-off traffic cones, but I'm not that big on blaze orange. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for different colored cones (black?) like the phone company uses...

Then insert the "http://www.ipostmypicshere.com/thisisthepic.jpg" inbetween the [lMG][/lMG], like [lMG]http://www.ipostmypicshere.com/thisisthepic.jpg[/lMG].
If the picture is properly uploaded and the correct URL is entered into the tags, then the pic should display.
Or if you email the pics to me real quick, I can load them up on my webpage real quick and post the pics for you.

Re: Smooth intake hoses (buell_freak)
IIRC, mackeyred96 noted that his traffic cone induction deformed under vacuum. I suppose that is one reason why the OEM ducting has the accordian pleats.

Re: Smooth intake hoses (Hawaiian Punch)
The cone idea is good cheap and some companys have different colors..Which is real nice.. The ones that we are talking about in this forum that are specially made are Cool..And I would like that type of induction.. Better cleaning and gives that TYPE R racer look which loos cool when you pop the hood..
Good job and hook me up but I dont Have a MAF so I need one like the cone idea one but not orange.
