Bryan,
I'm hearing you, I guess you mean the Renesis manifold. Maybe someone can duplicate that in carbon fiber, in a more compact form. I know - another job for Bill Jepson.

Bryan and George,
 The P-port insert used on the PS equipment duplicates an arrangement that Everett and Steve came up with that, in my opinion is near perfect for aircraft use. It is a simple tube bent back over the top of the engine. The mount is unique and I can't think on a better way to do the job. The intake is a thin-wall steel tube with an inlet bell on the end in a plenum. It is tough, lighter than most composite tubes would end up being, and easily modified for length. I work with a lot of carbon and could do better given time...for about 10x the cost. As an engineer I really believe in KIASAP a variation of the KISS principle. KIASAP is keep it as simple as possible, under our conditions.
