I am looking at new intakes to replace my adaptor/filter only setup on the ol' ES the two that I'm looking at have different intake bends. one is a smooth bend the other a welded 90deg bend. Am I correct in assuming the smooth bend would be preferable for uninterupted airflow or does it matter?

my thermodynamics says smoother the bend and smoother the surface the better... makes much more of a diff at top end rathe than low end...

that's what I figured. thought I'd save a $ or 2 but I guess I learned my lesson the first time.

even quickly going from a 2" to a 3" is actually a restriction... everything should be a smooth transition... well a moron at work here was drinking on his was home from a lock last night and went off the road... i have to go survey the damage... ill talk to yall later...
