CJM Billet Intake Manifold

phunk

This post is showing what i mean by thinning up the sidewalls. On the second manifold, we continued the nominal thickness down around the sides and up to the flange. It makes the flange around the outside really show itself... not as flattering in the rendering but in person it adds some really cool detail. It also makes the side ports for MAP sensor and vacuum ports more 3D and prominent.

One thing I think I failed to mention in the original post is that I did test fit the manifold with the strut bar. While it didnt fit immediately, by adding some spacers to the strut bar I was able to fit it and still close the hood. This snapshot taken from a video I posted of closing the hood on IG, the spacers are much thicker than necessary to clear the manifold, and the hood even still closes. Although, this was with a Seibon hood, and with a stock hood the strut bar spacers may cause interference without modifying the hood webbing structure.

One of these days I will probably machine some nice 1-piece spacers so that we can install the strut bar without it looking like its just floating on some hardware store spacers.
