air intake system

[david.demenge]

I have and RV-8 in the build process. It is an angle valve IO360 with a horizontal induction and Fly efii system 32 set up. I would like to know what intake/filter systems other builders have installed. I would like something similar to a Rod Bower type 2 set up but not necessarily needing the ram air option. What is available out there or what other styles others have used.

Install the RAM air option. Otherwise, you are giving up HP and speed.You can always not use it if you are concerned with burning more fuel but if you don't have it and then want it, you may be doing a bunch of re-work later on and taking your bird down for an undetermined amount of time.

HP Aircraft now offers my ram-air induction system. (or just PM me). There are three different options for the filter and alternate air configuration.

PS - It seems HP Aircraft's advertising agreement with Doug expired, but we are trying to renew it. Doug has not responded yet. I feel it is fair to mention our products since we are trying in good faith to re-establish the agreement. Doug?
