Not only is the angle/tip cut of the tube as well as placement depth critical in creating that venturi effect, the level of vacuum production is going to be dependent on a clean high velocity stream of exhaust gas flowing by it. That flow needs to be free of disturbing changes in flow direction to create the needed low pressure in the tube. MoPower..... Better to be a racer for a moment than a spectator for a lifetime.

I started racing at 15 in a 87 d50 with a 340 had a buddy build me a set with a pipe bender and some 1 3/4 pipe they aren't very pretty by they worked.
