Bill,
There is some one currently tuning a 2" intake - I think 16" may be a little
short. How did you measure the length e.g.  centre of diameter?

        They are quite twisty. I tried my best to measure the equivalent of the centerline distance. Probably plus or minus an inch.

What diameter is the 16" primary runners.

        They look about an inch and a quarter ID. I didn't measure them, however.

What is the diameter of all the other runners.

        The others are similar in diameter. Perhaps a touch smaller.

Diameter may help in guesstimating the runner length i.e. reduced diameter =
increased velocity.

        I'll measure the ID tonight.
