Default Cowl Snorkel

I have sifted through over 95 pages of articles trying to find the guy that just recently used PVC, and a stock rubber air elbow to make a cowl snorkel. I need to find the article or know what size pipe he used as 3" is waaay to big.

There are tons of write ups how to make one. Use 2 1/5" pipe or 3" if u use to small of pipe it will restrict air flow
