Something else I found. This time on intake manifolds

Like I always say...why do you put a corner anywhere in a system and if you do, what do you do with it?

It makes no sense from a performance standpoint. Corners are bad, and any intake with a bunch of corners in it is a loser.

Good info [ Yellow Rose ] we have the same terminology in the Water industry where rookies put alot of bends in big pipe when other measures can be used.
