Our engines pull air in and it rides along the side of the Distribution T. That's why the Y shape is very important and having the wedge is not.

Holy Mother of God! I was chastised over this post and 1 1/2 years later the great Jake Raby says the same thing I did about the air being pulled along the short side radius. The Y shape is the most important part of the piece, even according to Jake Raby.

With a pitot tube inserted in the intake where the splitter is installed in this photo will give zero, or very, very little velocity on the flow bench. Why? Because the air is pulled to the short side radius.
Yes, I have direct experience with this.
