If this is detuning the elbow, then what would we call the Needswings intake? That seems to flow pretty well and has removed all fins and stabilizers. Is the airflow distorted in their system?
it's all about FLUID DYNAMICS - The NeedsWings Intake for one greatly benifits from getting rid of the restriction through the radiator support, air filters, and the Y-section. Perhaps fins inside the elbow of the NeedsWings intake would increase flow there too; the time and effort required may not be justified compairede to the gains - SORRY
