Playing with Van's snorkel for the rv-8a with an aerosport io-375, superior cold sump and horizontal induction (fm200 which has the rounded opening-can't use the flange bolt attachment method). Read multiple posts on modifying the Vans snorkle and this modifying is what I've been working on.
One alternative I'm considering is just running SCEET tubing ( smooth inside so no air flow ripples) from the intake filter to the fm200. Diameter of sceet is about 1/4" smaller than smallest part of Van's snorkle. 3&1/4" sceet fits perfectly to the fm200 air intake.
This would make for a much, much easier install than Vans snorkle.
Am I missing something major here??
Thanks,Tom H.
