Fumaze road draft tube with engine pans

[mngreen]

A friend of mine purchased an original fumaze accessory road draft tube and had it installed on his prior Model A (without engine pans). He recently bought a new car that had engine pans installed and he simply put it on as usual. I mentioned to him that since the end of the road draft tube was only about an inch from the engine pan that I didn't think the accessory was doing much of anything as he installed it since there wasn't the same "road draft" present on top of the engine pan.

What say you people?
