Has anyone considered using really heavy hose for the runners, rather than something ridged like aluminum, or fiberglass?  It would have to be fuel resistant of course, which rules out silicone I believe.  I'll have to hit McMasters for 2" Viton hose :-) 
 
OK, just to extend my own question here, I looked at the McMaster site, and came up with a couple of different Buna-N hoses that would probably work fine as an intake hose.  The biggest limitation is the temp resistance, which is only up to about 212F.  It seems like this would be the easy way to chase EDDIE :-)
