This is bolt on, has a much greater volume, and doesn't have sealing problems like xcessive's plenums do. I'll take function over form any day of the week... Then again this is zilvia so I can't expect too much.

Not to mention if you send him your runners, rail, and throttle body he will port match the runners, match the rail and throttle body for clearance, and anything else you want for very reasonable prices.

I did one of those on my fwd, I welded it together. That guy has to step up his game.

You cobbled yours together from a casting and other loose parts, he is making mine from scratch, not to mention your volume is still less than what mine will be, but hey congrats you can fabricate. I don't have a tig at my house only a mig nor do I have the time to fabricate anything currently. What is yours based off of? Here are more shots of where it starts and how it's put together, not to mention they've run FEA on the design, where is yours?

LoL mine is made from trial and error.

It's on a N/A engine not a turbo motor where it's much more critical to get a length that works so you don't lose power all over the place. Lets face it I'd rather use cast parts than put that manifold on my motor. I still think he needs to step up his game.
