Custom inlet manifold.

[Bedford126]

Over Christmas I have quite a bit of time to myself so decided to make my own inlet manifold with the different bends and sheet ally I have. It will be purely for looks but I still want the car to run nice and (maybe better than standard if possible)- but not needed..

So my questions would be if I built some sort of trumpets into a plenum would this sound as well as run okay? Also is it worth keeping the internal volume of the plenum and throats the same as standard?

Any help would be great it's more of a project to learn than anything else but it would be a nice show piece at the same time...
