Whew! There is some jaw-dropping attention to detail going on here. I even had to look up "interlocking piping." It seems that among other applications, it is used for exhaust. Why would an air intake require such complicated piping? And was the duodecim (geepers, a guy has to show off somehow ) twist a characteristic of all the Feifel intake piping, or an accident of production as the pipes were fitted together (interlocked)?

It's a German thing...

















When it comes to all things Tiger I've collected a lot of pics...

Wow, this is turning into quite a detailed build, well done so far

Thank you, MrChef! This old Refessor finds the photos clearly explanatory and interesting: just the kind of picture book I need at this advanced age. I will never again view a Feifel aircleaner in the same way. For example, I see that the direction for the interlocking provides for smoother airflow. (And I think that's the same kind of interlocking used on some roofing to help avoid leaks.)
Then, too, I had not heretofore (;D) seen Panzerplace (https://panzerplace.eu/), so you scored double helpfulness.
