So I somehow convince my Art Prof to let me build an "art intake" for the GD3. However due to the nature of the class, I must he make mold from of wood and metal model.
So my plan is to make a camber/scoop intake based out of the "gruppe m civic intake."

The material is going fiberglass or carbon fiber depending on looks, feel, and strength of the material.
(note that I'm going to abuse the school's machines, and assume the the fit's battery is moved to the trunk to make the build a lot of easier)
So my question is
1. How would different diameter of "intake tube" would effect the feel of the car (2.5 v.s 3inch Diameter)? Or the combo of the two?
2.How strong is a single layer of Carbon Fiber (speedwise, since it is a scoop design)?
3. How strong is fiberglass (speedwise, since it is a scoop design)?
4. How well is each of the material keep heat out from the motorbay (or a better way to ask is to how well does it keep the air cold). Or is it better to stick in an aluminum or a stainless steel tube instead for the "intake pipe?"
5. How doe air enter though the TB? Does it just suck in air from all directions or does a clockwise airflow, since I live in the upper hemisphere?
Thanks and sorry for the many question.
