Tbf Dave, a vague grasp of basic fluid dynamics is enough to tell us the pipe is less capable than some alternatives. The most efficient conduit for a fluid is a dead-straight pipe with a circular cross-section, that OEM pipe is clearly far from either lol. Ok, so Peugeot's designers and engineers considered it the best solution and we can appreciate they know their stuff, but at the same time it's a fairly good bet there is an alternative solution more suited to our purpose, although that probably involves compromises that Peugeot weren't willing to make - cost, packaging, NVH, etc.
We get your point, but not everyone has the luxury of access to flow benches, data-logging equipment, simulators and dynos. Those who do generally aren't being very forthcoming with any information they find, so we're having to make educated guesses based on what we have got access to - what we can see, lessons learnt from similar situations and some basic theory.
