Why the hell would you want longer IC piping?

I'm sure with power you're making on a smic the effects of resonant frequencies and other ---- I can't think of is nill. Keep it short kid.

Think of it this way.
less pipe means that the air has less distance to travel= better spool.
Also less pipe means less friction=better flowrate

Short, but dont loop it over hot parts of the engine to keep it short, youd be better having it that little bit longer to avoid the heat

Werd, but I think mines about a mile long because of clearance issues.
