[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 442392, member: 15465"] I don't know if a larger 'mouth' for the intake will be OK, but my experience is that deviating from an engineered design can have unpredictable results. If it doesn't perform well, you will have poured lots of work into it & then have to tear it back apart, which will be three times the work (been there, done it). Check out PSG1 thread. He used a Yamaha aluminum tunnel, which can be welded in. For the record, I removed my PWC-based tunnel & it had to be sawed out. The 5200-to-aluminum bond was very strong, has to be chiseled apart. The big risk with the plastic tunnel is hitting a rock. [/QUOTE]
