Default Uber Rare S3 32v air intake tubes

Not in the best shape but if you do not have any they would do the job. Relatively cheap as well.

Curious what makes these different than say the ones in my 81 Euro S since they look the same? Length, diameter, hole location, etc?

Pete - the "accordian" aft of the holes is much shorter, in order for the tubes to fit along the side of the organ pipe intakes unique to the 85/86 US motor.

There is also a very distinct "kink" formed in them right at the forward end of the cone. Also the outlet end is a smaller diameter than the other tubes. The air box top is also different with the smaller inlet openings.
EDIT: I guess you can also see in the pictures that follow that the length and shape of the cone is quite different.
