Is this bad for my engine?

umm the whirl will work if the intake would have only a open end, and the other one closed. taje a 2 liter bottle of pepsi fill it with watter and atempt to drain it. it will make a lot of bubbles, but if u cut the closed end the water will drain as fast as making the whirpool, so i don't think there is any gain.

What exactly are you saying? Are you saying that a 2 liter with with the bottom cut off will drain just as quickly if there is no whirlpool as it would if there is a whirlpool? I don't know, I haven't tried it....that's part of what I'm trying to get at. I guess I could just do the dern experiment and figure it out.

But since the engine isn't sucking air at a constant rate, then it would disrupt the airflow through the tube....so any whirling motion would probably get disrupted if it were to exist....thus nullifying my original question.?!
