Why is this duct 2 piece?
« on: Yesterday at 20:01:17 »
This is the duct from the air scoop above the rad to the airbox on her car.

Why is this made of 2 parts, rather than a single piece? 




Confused of Brakkers.

Could it be for flexibility reasons to aid fitment.  :-\

Can't see why? It's a rigid section, and quite short.  There is another section not in photo (that is one piece) that has a concertina bit at the end for flexibility.

Probably cheaper to mould it in 2 pieces then snap them together.

"Cheaper" is almost always  the answer on cars the4se days, sadly.
