It looks like all you would need is a hunk of 4" tubing with a bend to get rid of thet clusterf%&k that is stock. Any ideas on what to use?

If you do electric fans it would be totaly simple. BLK6.0HD made one out of Fernco plumbers tubing from Home Depot. It comes striaght out, then bends down at a 90deg and has a conical filter on the end of it.

Nope, never seen anyone do one before.

Just kidding, here's mine. BTW, do a search, this question has come up at least 3 times in the last couple of months.
