Proracer...no one said anything about IMPROVING air flow. I just wondered what all the bends would do to the airflow. No flame intended...I wondered. The part looks great. No doubt that cooler air helps.
Oh, and about the spell check comment. I meant no offense to anyone. We are all guilty of typos and such. I just think that it weakens your argument when your response is full of misspelled words.

Matt,
You did not miss much, they didn't prep the track until someone had an accident. They then spent 1+ hours laying down the VHT they should have put down at around 3 pm. Then beyond my comprehension, they blocked off the center access and had everyone drive thru the water box, so all the street cars dragged water all over the track. Basically nice nite, terrible track conditions. Macedo worked his magic on my Harley truck this week with some nice upgrades. It ran a 14.17 at 98 mph with Macedo behind the wheel, then the Wife went 14.3 @ 97 mph in it. Truck could have gone into the 13s with better track prep, then we loaded it up with tires, tools, jacks, etc and towed a car 120 miles back to Orlando, pretty good for a tow vehicle. Most of the Vipers loaded up early, as the track was way too slick. I kept at it, as I was experimenting with some new plugs etc. Two steps colder, is too cold. Did you see that one of the local guys is renting Bithlo for a day on Nov. 12th, maybe you could bring out your creampuffed nitrous car?

This comment is in regards to the person who was saying that all the bends aren't good for airflow.
Its not true. Its actually better, because there is a larger amount of air inside the tubing. The more air the engine can pull into the throttle bodies, sitting available in and undisturbed manner, the better. I would imagine that air box setup would be substantially better than a regular smooth tube setup.

And where is your proof of this ?
Scott, If you would......please e-mail me some pics of your air boxes out of the different materials. tnx. [email protected]
Bradenton motorsports (1/4 mile dragstrip) charges $10 to watch and $5 more to drive and compete....$15 cheapest therapy going.
Fuelman that Harley Davidson (Supercharged) F150 doing 14.1 with Larry Macedo behind the wheel was impressive ....But seeing Mrs. Fuelman hot on Larry's heels @ 14.3 was real impressive.
I took Mrs. Cudaman's diesel Excursion(with 38 gallons of fuel and full of little Cudaman kid's junk) to a 16.6 was not bad either.
