What type of intake have you found to have the best flow characteristics ? Straight? Short? Curved? I am using this type but some pullers tell me a straight intake is better. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/RangerCharlie/media/WD/20160321_1617541_zpsii95pv1f.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

| In my opinion anything is better then a open carb. I've had pretty good luck with a straight pipe about 15-20 inchs long. |

I can't say for sure, but I'm running a straight pipe about 15-20 inches long too, and my tractor seems to really like that. It likes it a whole lot better than my pvc intake with a 90 degree bend in it,, but that could've just been the fact that it was made out of pvc lol! ------------- 1950 B, 1952 pulling wd, and 1954 wd45 |

I like the looks of yours better then a short straight one!! Your bend is a nice gradual turn don't think it would restrict.
