fester Regular Location: Gympie Qld Registered: December 2004	Re: 20V trumpets. Thu, 06 January 2005 12:33 Those billet trumpets may look nice but at $185us, no thanks. I would suggest the Toyota ones are made that way for a very specific purpose, which could simply be to ffit the longest trumpet within the available space. Have a look at the shape it would be far cheaper and easier to make the patterns and moulds and pump out straight ones. They actually have a reasonable curve and inlet shape (considering), better than most cheap ram tubes. I am going to (attempt to) make up a timber pattern with a very similar shape to the billet ones and use as a mould for fibreglass trumpets. Wil try and fold the edge right back and square about 30mm so there is a nice flat surface to clamp say a set of small K&N style filters instead of the usual socks. If you are going to make them and you can't a radius like the above aluminium billet ones don't waste your time, you will defeat the purpose. That radius is there to aid air flow. If you have a fairly straight edge on your inlet inlet, even if it is flaired it will be hardly better than no ram tubes at all as it is hard for the air to turn the corner into the mouth of the tube.
