Hey man, not sure if that intake was made by hagerty. We have had several of them and none were built like that. I have used the rear facing intake as well. The goal of the intake is to use bigger reeds and move them up above the case. More airflow and smoother transition was what it was designed to do. At one time almost all the national quads in (90cvt) were running them. Later folks started using different versions, reeds, smaller intakes, ect. I believe there are slightly smaller intakes and carb setup's that will increase velocity of the air while providing a smooth transition. That will also give you better throttle response. I don't think its the best intake/setup for small or intermediate tracks. I think it's best used when on big tracks with long hole shots, ect.
