 I noticed many intake designs have constant diameter intake pipes while
Guru Racing and a few others taper theirs down to the intake port.

I will make my intake manifold out of carbon or some other heat resistant
glass epoxy GRP so I am free at the moment as to the course and profile they
will be.

I thought to go from 60mm id at the intake plenum with the adjustable length
portion being able to extend another 120mm within the intake intake plenum.
From the plenum  to the slide throttle, a distance of about 320mm I would
like to taper the tubes down to 50mm gradually over their length.

Injectors are right after the slide throttle so fuel mist separation is not
an issue.  Other than being a pain in the butt to construct the tapered pipe
are their any disadvantages or advantages to such a design?


Thanks
