the problem in the end will be that a whole new manifold will be costly and no one will want to fork over the money.

the TBs end up having someone local port and polish them for cheap since paying 900 to Z1 or 2k to the others is just ridiculous.

i'm hoping something different happens here thought

a $500-750 manifold with good gains would be lovely.

thats the pricing point where they would sell.

Z1's is like $400 or 500 i think and it sees little gains.
the kinetx one was beautiful, saw 0 gains on NA nor FI, and cost 1k
pretty much anything now is a cleaned up OEM 350 airbox. sorry not paying someone triple the cost of the OEM plastic manifold for them to play with a dremel for a hour or so. i can do that at home if i really wanted.

we need a solid gaining and good looking manifold. something that isnt stupid expensive although with the R&D and labor it's going to be.


let's face it the manifold aveune is a tough one for us. the 370 has been out for 7 model years now and this is where we are at.

The goal is to decrease turns throughout from intake all the way through the lower while maintaining stock location for fuel rails and strut bar. Moving TBs to the front may be an option as that will be the least restrictive for airflow (bend wise). But Like i said, working on access to a flow bench through some family friends.

This was dumbfounding to me when I started my search, I came from owning a hyundai and we had 3-4 fully custom manifold options in the 600-900 price range.

i'm right there with you. if theres a considerable gain then yea i got no problem handing over the money.

just need to make something that produces power. who cares if its eye candy or not.
sounds like lower the cost would be worth it then?
