the stuff i have bought i got at Canadian Tire, 2" air tube accordian ducting, and will be put to good use here very soon.
I understand your concear for at idle Boosty, my idea isnt to plug the air box full of just these tubes, but to, instead, leave some room for it to be aspirated in a more natural manner, vs driving and getting force fed.

The best thing would be the colder the better. However somewhere there is a restriction if you pull the air from too far away. Simple physics of distance. (probably doesn't matter enough in our situations though)
At the same time.. Questions of how much can we do...
Bill...do you find you need to clean the filter more often because you are channelling the dirt and grime from the road up the ductwork?

No difference whatsoever. And this is my second winter with the system. The END of the filter would take the most, rather than the circumference. But I still only clean the filter twice a year. Once might suffice.

Now there are many, many other, lighter products out there that have more flex, are cheaper, and would likely work just fine for a ram air supply hose, but not as well for the intake supply tube.
If I'm totally worng here, let me know and then let me know where you found that tube for $0.20/ft, 'cause I want some. (not kidding).
