Paul,
Attached are some pics of a mock up of a two stage plenum that
ducts air from a scoop under the strake and turns it 180
degrees, passes air through a filter and dumps it into the
alumium portion through a MAF sensor out of a Lincoln Town Car.
The intake runners are 22" long to the port opening at the rotor
housing. I mocked up the aluminum in poster board . The
injectors go in the plenum on the intake runners. Would
bell mouths be required at the ends? The cold side with the
filter will be the composite unit in the pic. It will be bonded
to an aluminum bulkhead that will serve as a mounting location
for the MAF and the filter housing. I made the housing adapter
out of carbon fiber so a hose clamp that was included could be
used to secure the filter. Thanks for any help.

Looks good Joe. Carve the bells out of foam.
I updated the section on the web site about composite intake
manifold.

So have another read for ideas.
A recent idea is use 2 inch ID CEET flexible Neopren ducting from
AC Spruce for the runners. It is smooth inside and is resistent to fuel
vapor unlike the silicon stuff. Use straight sections of .049 wall
2 inch OD metal tube where ever possible and connect them with CEET
for the curved sections. Page 203 on the 2009 AC Spruce cat.
Cheaper than aluminum bends.
