Thanks for your great pipe loss review. I haven't done any pipe loss calculations for longer than I will admit here but your numbers are not far from what I had anticipated. I had previously done a sight over your thumb estimate and thought it might be around 5" or 6" drop.

Good work as always!

Thanks George, and I must say, you have a very accurate thumb!

So a 2 inch of H2O drop for the duct work allows for a 10 inch drop across the filter, that is if we wish to stay within DD's spec. Or, we could sweat the 2 inch drop, try to cut it in half to say maybe 1" by throwing a few C-notes at it, and gain maybe 0.01% fuel mileage???
