If you want to do it to your car, go for it. We are all adults hear and can make these decisions on our own. If you don't feel it will add power, then don't do it. I promise you I will not be offended.

But please, if you are going to bring fluid dynamics and flow characteristics into the argument, at least use the elbow and set up in question. Any 90 degree elbow will not be the same.
Sorry for the misrepresentation-that is a generic image to show exagerated turbulence.
BUT, any 90 degree turn will show similar effects. Just to what degree is a function of flow, diameter, bending radius and media (viscosity).

Personally, I think you fellas do a great service for the Crossfire population in general, and an even greater service to those who want to keep a stock looking engine bay. Please keep it up!
And even though we're in the peanut gallery, some of us do know what we're talking about.
