    I recently received a new intake manifold that was made for me. I am curious to hear opinions of this before I test it out on the car. Good or bad, I'm looking to hear about it. Yes, I am aware of the fabricators history. Personally, I am a little worried about the velocity stacks.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    What will be the benefits of this? Looks like a standard sheet metal intake manifold.

    I do not have charted numbers on this manifold. My opinion is the flow will be better than a stock pnp. Flow testing on a bench is just not accurate with a intake manifold. I will have hard numbers once Rob gets his hands on it.

    Yes. They are on the bottom and I don't have a picture at the moment. One shitty part is that the map has to be extended to reach the new location.

    I'd want them on the side. If you get any oil moisture collecting in the manifold for any reason the. It has a possibility to dirty up the MAP or drain into the lines for the bpv, etc

    It's shit in my opinion. I am not happy, and am not even sure if I want to put this on.

    How much did said manifold cost? Why not go with the usual JMF or the new CPE?

    Hell of a deal?

    Not hell of a deal. It was supposed to be, but the pictures I showed are a nasty reminder of why you listen to fellow nator folk. Look at these shitty welds. [​IMG][​IMG]

    I wouldn't use that.. Your runners are smaller than a pnp with those kinda holes/welds. Looks kinda bad OP.

    Where did you buy it? What's the story with how you ended up purchasing said hack job.

    I swore I saw on FB some similar fuckery... but I can't remember if it was the same guy. Manifold looks very similar.
