Hey mister, why have you got your exhaust sticking up through your wing? ph34r.gif

Sorry, thats what a small child asked me the other day. rolleyes.gif

In my previous life I found Davis Industrial Plastics to be a fine purveyor of flexible ducting in all sizes. They are pretty good for just about anything plastic in fact.

Not sure how much i'm going to need yet as i'm still designing the snorkel / airbox / pipe routes, probably need about 2 or so meters to get from the turbo around to the airbox, and then from the airbox to the sorkel. I'm in sunny sunny South Wales biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Can't you make a reduction collar Nige, or would that interfere with engine performance?

This Piggin snorkel was a bit like the roll cage work..... huh.gif



I think I would rather set fire to (wots left of) my hair and put the flames out with a spade rather than do this for a living laugh.gif

I do not know how you can do this every day Chris , ....if I did the screams would be regualr ..and loud laugh.gif

Try here, http://www.defuma.co.uk/products/category_04.html
or here, http://www.nederman.com/Product%20Database/Products.aspx

We use both companies for extraction systems in our factory. I am 99% sure you will get 3ins, 4ins, 5ins or even 6ins hose but you ain't ever going to get 3.5ins hose.

I can send you a cad file with the necessary development 3.5 down to 3ins 3.5 upto 4ins.

Now before you get upset I'll just get my coat................................. hysterical.gif

Don't know if it is still the case, but RS used to do nice grey flexy hose suitable for vacuum in 3m lengths not too badly priced.

Agricultural sellers are also a good bet.

Just to be controvertial, I quite like the snorkel.

On the piping issue, do you really need it to be flexible? If not, why not use silicon hosing? You'd get better gasflow and, IMHO, a neater final result. Its a bit dear, though....
