what are you trying to do? get cold air w/o the risk of hydrolocking? wouldnt it be better to just get a shortram pipe, probably have to cut some of it, and connect it to the stock airbox?

but seriously though i think flexible piping like that would greatly reduce intake air velocity compared to a traditional mendrel bent short ram.

your making a cold air intake that is actually a short ram it´s not gonna give you anything! the air has to travel a longer distance through more bends and the filter is still in the hood right by the side of your exhaust sucking in hot air! so you actually get all the cons of the short ram and all the cons of the cold air and you end up with a bad idea
