Range Rover Blues:
My advice would be to avoid tight bends and keep the cross section uniform.

and to keep fingers crossed for no water leaks?

user Richardson made one for a RRC from drain pipe etc.

This is why ours is not connected.  Running on LPG it's very important that the back side of the evaporater is at the same atmospheric pressure as the inlet.  Ram air or excessively long air intakes play havoc with this.  One sloution is to make sure the vent to the evaporator diaphram is connected by a pipe to the air filter and not the underbonnet.
I've heard of people cutting the trumpet of RR EFi airboxes or fitting weather strips to the bonnet to overcome this problem.
