Rubbish - it's so that he can carry eight cups of coffee/beer bottles at once without fear of spillage (remember kiddies, don't drink and drive, you might spill it) when we all come round his for the summer barbecue.....

Busted. biggrin sorry as phase pointed out its a 45mm blended trumpet base that replaces the standard base and straight pipe trumpets as fitted by rover and therefore tvr, you can of course fit carbon and alloy trumpets of various diameters, but I chose to go this way after Jools posted a thread regarding it.

Is it more a styling exercise, or does it offer any mechanical or performance advantages?

Be more useful as a styling exercise if it wasn't hidden underneath the Plenum and not visible, though I'm tempted to leave it as an ornament in the living room and see if the wife complains smile
It's purpose is to get rid of the cheap nasty steel tubes that were originally used for the trumpets, this should improve air flow into the inlet and can improve power.
Would help with other additional items like a 72mm plenum and dizzy less sparks.
