[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15571716, member: 141815"] Yes sir that is true, but the inside of the JLT intake tube isn't finished in the same manner as the ports of cylinder heads or intake manifolds when they are CNC machined to create an isolation layer of air to increase overall air flow of the ports. There is a big difference between a rough surface and a machined surface. I knew my post was going to bring this up. I actually thought about my past posts about the intake and cylinder head porting and not giving my opinion on this subject because of those past posts. I'm tired of fighting and arguing about something that anybody can Google the information for. The ROUGH surface of the JLT intake is going to create a very turbulent air surface along its walls, instead of a boundary layer of air that actually increases the overall airflow of the piping. If KB could mimic the machining of cylinder head porting inside the piping I'd bet the airflow would increase. Unfortunately to do this they would need to either increase the wall thickness, which reduces the interior diameter or go with a larger outer diameter which won't fit under the hood of the cars with SS or most other aftermarket hoods. So a smooth surface in this case outflows the ROUGH surface for basically the same diameter piping Can anybody answer me a few questions. Why do my posts create controversy and bring a response that reads as if they have been written with animosity? Anybody ever wonder why this forum doesn't have technical discussions any longer? My response to the last question is........ it isn't worth the aggravation [/QUOTE]
