Outstanding work. That was the material I was looking for when I built mine. Home Depot and Ace Hardware didn't have it :evil: so I settled for aluminum dryer ducting which, amazingly, has stood up very well.

Thanks for sharing, RCR.

Using a set up with one of these would eliminate the chance of any water getting in to your engine so you could run it all the time Matthew.

I thought these were common knowledge. Apparently i'm wrong? I suppose they dont allow air to escape but wat will drain right out, They are used in WRC on almost all cars. If I had the dough, bread, cheddar, green backs, I would set up something with one of these incorporated in it.
