Default The intake system on the M44

Hey Guys,
I just tore into my Ti for the first time basically just checking it over, checking air filter condition, vacuum hose condition, looking for cracking and rot.

I just had to come post,,, what the hell were Hans and Franz on when they designed the intake system for these cars???
That has to be the most convoluted way of getting air into an engine I have ever seen.

The whole up and over the radiator thing,,, crazy.

Anyone know the reason for all that?
They could have just taken air from right behind the left headlight.
It even looks like there is a port for it.

I am tempted to try to simplify.
You have to take alot of stuff off just to change the air filter.
Just doesnt need to be that complicated.

Anyone else think that?
