You may well have, but that doesn't mean that I either remember what
they look like, know it's the same thing, or still have them... BTW
thanks for folks that sent me the pics I've got them now. I'd say
quite good on the design. That's pretty impressive it he's talking 27
from that setup.. makes me even more inclined to try the full colluder
cone. It would look stupid, but if you had a big sticker that read
"this stupid looking contraption improves my mpg by 25%"  I wouldn't
feel so bad.
