Semi-snorkled

I desnorkled my car, but did not like the looks of the resulting profile from an air flow standpoint. If you have studied fluid mechanics, it is well known that the pressure drop from an inlet nozzle is much less if the nozzle projects into the stationary air flow.

So, I cut my snorkle off a few inches out and re-attached it:

I have my graduate degree in fluid mechanics and have worked in airflow management for twelve years up to and including today. I have no idea what you're talking about with respect to this geometry.

I also don't understand what your trying to say?

On another note, when running individual throttle bodies, the trumpet tends to be smoothed out at the end like a flower. That is because the air is pulled in mostly from behind the entrance of the throttle body intake. Is this what you mean?
