Thing of beauty. Want to make a box for my intake? One of those pyramid shaped things only round - rectangular would work I suppose. Just to keep the
crap out of the filter really.

Looks great, where the central sheet joins the ends, how did you manage to continue the strength accross the join?
Also, where did you get the carbon trumpets?

Where the main `sheet' joins the ends , I make sure the edges of the first part are as good as possible , then overlap the end parts - and
repeat with the next layer .
I make my own carbon trumpets - just finished a set of Jenvey-alikes for Alex (omega0684) , along with a carbon filter backplate .
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Very nice! What do you use to lay them up material wise and any pics of the pattern to see how you lay it out?

Been thinking about resins, polyester is ok, but for a turbo inlet Id be wanted something a little more structural I think. Epoxy begins to deform at
abut 60 degree so that leaves vinylester...
Where can you get that?
