There's people buying it to dress up the engine bay who aren't necessarily concerned with actual gains.

People spend money on hoods, fenders, wheels...all for looks, the only difference here is that i have lift the hood to see it.

your right if you add them up all together but I'd say if someone buys I hood for 2k they are dumb, If you take all my exterior mods yes its above 2K but that's on the outside of the car where I/you can enjoy it every time you look at your car. Unless you plan on install a glass hood or driving around with no hood to spend 2k for looks under the hood you are dumb, IMO

Money isn't a issue for me but you don't see me running out to buy it...
I just can't see buying a product with 0 results..

For me, Im hoping for some gains in combi with the AAM TT kit, the bling is added bonus. Fingers crossed i didnt purchase in vain. It really is expensive by any measure

I think Na guys won't see much power, it will benefits the forced induction crowd. We need 1 slow to make a manifold for us NA guys. his mani prove to make power

NorthStyle · 03-09-2016, 08:18 AM

It's no different than paying $5K for a bodykit, $4-8K for a set of wheels, $3K for seats, ect. There's quite a few guys on this forum who have spent more in modifications than what they purchased their car for. Another $2K for a unique show piece is reasonable.

JARblue · 03-09-2016, 06:20 PM

You're right. I'd spend $$ on a decent looking intake manifold regardless of the performance gains.

This is better than the stock Z engine cover, but it's not that good looking IMNSHO. Certainly not worth $2K purely for aesthetics. Possibly with some performance gains ... that are still TBD ...

Elmo370z · 03-09-2016, 09:00 PM

That didn't come out right. Personslly i don't like polishing any knobs not my thing. I rather just make power and go fast.

V1H · 03-10-2016, 02:03 AM

On a boosted stock motor at least, power gains wont be paramount, limits can be hit either way. But a better flowing manifold will hopefully save half a pound of boost or one for the same power, thus, helping engine longevity. That'd money well spent. And im with scope22, i also like every bolt to be shiny inside out. Needless to say mine isnt a daily driver (600miles/yr)

Hey everyone,

We are happy to announce that we are getting close to receiving our very first production units for performance testing! The manufacturer had requested some small adjustments for the mold, in order to make the casting process more efficient. We made some minor tweaks and they are currently hard at work creating manifolds.

Although we were hoping to complete all testing in early March, the manufacturer required some additional time to implement the mold revisions and ensure top-notch quality. We still aim to have our first finalized manifolds and begin testing by the end of this month, so that we may place a full batch into production shortly after. We will keep you all updated as this process progresses!
