To elaborate a little bit on Mark Jones: The plenum style can take longer to fabricate due to setting up the foam molds, where if you reference Dan Heath’s site for how he set big pieces in place and then cut card board for the shape of the flexible pieces, makes short work of the time needed. In

The only thing I would modify to what Mark L posted is that remember to make a provision for engine movement at the end of the plenum connection to the cowling. Ed James showed me his setup on a IO – 360 Lycoming making some awesome dyno tested 250HP at 10 to 1 compression. He used a tube similar t

I have a Sport Aviation article that says standard baffling has a 55% pressure loss while the closed plenum has a 17% loss. That translates to smaller inlets which, in turn, translates to less drag. Your choice. As far as mating the plenum to the plenum goes, try scat tubing. It collapses and e
