Omega General Help / Re: Performance air filter

I noticed an immediate difference with panel K&N, I am on my second (the 1st one was replaced to paper panel by a machanic who didn't read the big K&N stickers...).
However, I am in the process of investigating force feeding of air, ie I cut the air inlet to the pipe end (in front of the AC fans) and attached a 90 degrees plastic piping "elbow" that starts bigger diameter thrn the stock pipe then it narrows down. By having the 90 deg. curve towards the direction of movement I expect the air pressure to increase down the pipe line into the box as the speed increases, plus expect the MAF to adjust on the fly. That done already, I plan to increase the entire pipe diameter all the way to the air box. Any thought on this at speed "supercharger"? it worked for the Mustangs in the '40s....
Also, I was wondering why the car maker didn't aim the pipe opening forward, and theorized it was to avoid water coming in? anyways didn't see water in my air system, though I do try not to have jets of water into the grill when I am washing the car (has a Catera sports grill).
