Here are some stats of the last version tested at 60 lbs/min of air:

Oulet Total Pressure = 20.9725
Inlet Total Pressure = 22.648
Inlet Dynamic Pressure = 0.660818
Hydraulic Loss = 2.53581
Percent Loss = 11.197%

If you subtract the loss from a straight pipe in roughly the same diameter it comes out to be just a touch over a 2psi loss. If you compare that number to a conventional tube style intake manifold you would probably be surprised that the hydraulic loss due to sudden expansion would most likely be greater of a pressure drop than this. If you really want I suppose I could do a test for ya to see the pressure drop of a more conventional style and post the results.
