    That thing really doesn't look all that bad... I've certainly seen MUCH worse.

    "Professional Installation Recommended on this Product" I read this as "Doesn't fit well, needs fabrication to work well..."

    Wirelessly posted (TELECA-/2.0 (BREW 3.1.5; U; EN-US; SAMSUNG; SPH-M800; Teleca/Q05A/INT) MMP/2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1)

    nah, they have that disclaimer on almost everything they sell.

    I am almost tempted to pick one up since it is so cheap.

    I do have to say I have LONG wondered why intake manifolds on 4 cylinders cost 10x more than you can get them for domestic muscle....I mean go open a summit racing catalog and you will find quite the selection for domestic v-8's starting at around $125 and there are probably over 1000 different kinds and brands with varying power bands, etc. I realize part of it is the shear fact that they have been around longer, have the castings, etc but still. $125 vs $2000 is still kind of ridiculous.

    This appears to just be a copy of the Magnus, actually...

    It looks quite a bit better than any Magnus I've ever seen. Those flanges look like they might even be flat ;)

    For the price, I'd be interested to see a back-to-back test. It is shiny ;)

    Siegel, let us know if you guys get one for testing:) I have contacted a guy I know that works there to see if he has seen one in person and what he thought of it.

    It's missing a few thing so there will certainly need to be some fabrication.

    There is no pcv bung or place to mount the coolant tank. Not a big deal for rotated setups.

    just maybe
    1. there seem2 to be 4 holes for fitting and one can be used for PCV
    2. on one of the pics there is a faint view of a side hole for mounting bracket

    Im not familiar with heat treating but if the flanges were machined flat after welding than its a good thing

    Unless you are only looking to make power above 5000 rpms I would skip it, its an exact copy of the magnus I used to have and even those didn't work that well. Its just a bad design
