Fab-Factory - has a page up with some details on their N54 IM, it looks pretty sweet, here are some details:

$1895 for the standard billet design manifold, if you go top mounted injectors and rail, $2495. Prototypes ready approximately mid to late November.

Manifolds will begin shipping late 16' Contact [email protected] for further information and ordering.

I have flow data for my own use on this plenum as shown above and all is good. About 5% deviation in distribution between highest and lowest flowing cyl @ 50psi (and to note cyl 6 is not the lowest one).

For further details, @A4RingedONE8T should be able to provide them!

Which do you think is better, a billet or cast intake manifold?

This is gorgeous. I personally would want it black. Not into having that much bling. Look forward to seeing some results and real world feedback from this.

All manifolds will come raw as seen, they can be anodized or powdercoated your choice of colors for an additional charge.

HORY SHET!

Do you have any capability for direct port meth/nitrous? Personally I'd like to run a shot.

Yes of course, I can add provisions for anything you'd like in pretty much any location. These manifolds will all be made to order, not something I'll just have sitting around the shelf. As a result, each can be catered to its end user and their requirements.

Looks like a nice piece. My only issue is that we spoke about this almost a year ago and when I said yes I wanted it communication stopped. Any communication was initiated by me weeks later and then nothing came from it. Once again it is a great show piece I am sure that now that you actually plan to produce this there would be no issues in getting them done. Being in sales myself and local to you I would suggest in the future just say no if you do not want to do the piece instead of ghosting your customer. Just my two cents and run your business your way because it certainly seems to be working for you.

Thanks everyone for your comments, pricing isn't 100% set yet as I haven't finalized all the billet components and been able to cost everything out. More info very soon!

I don't know what it costs, but its sexy as hell. This combined with a CNC valve cover and a top mount would be amazing. I've already gone bottom mount so I can only hope for 2/3.

Hey guys, sorry I'm not on the forums much. All of the parts are finalized, waiting for the Holidays to pass so I can get my test car back and get a fixture together. Here's finished components awaiting fab. Late next week I plan to release presale info and first manifolds will be available to ship shortly there after. I appreciate everyone interest and comments. If anyone has particular questions or a quicker reply than here on the forum, please email me directly [email protected]

Thanks everyone.

Emailed Shawn about buying one of these to test against all the other manifolds we own. We all know this one looks by far the prettiest, and is basically a work of art, but it all comes down to function at the end of the day. No response to my email...
