Now if only you weren't such a loud mouthed cheap ass.
Its not cheap but its an awesome bit of gear and it works and not some untested bit of Chinese junk slapped together
If you want to waste your money, go right ahead no one is stopping you.
But when you try compare that rubbish you posted to the ff manifold, its insulting.

You will need to fab your own charge pipe. Way too many intercooler and blow off valve combos out there for me to even consider offering these. Anyone local to us in Tampa, or willing to make the drive, we offer installation and any type of custom fab here at the shop.
Intake air temps go up about 10 degrees is the highest I've seen, like in these dyno logs. When the car is on the road you should see them a bit lower, closer to stock manifold temps.
As my wife always tells me, look with your special eyes =) Very different, in every way
haha touche!
Then you'd have something that looks like and performs like the China manifolds
Seriously, touch one of my manifolds and tell me you don't see the value before assumptions are made like this. It isn't for everyone which is great because I never planned to make a bunch of these. For those that want or need them, they are available however I'm not trying to compete with volumes of any of the other manifolds.
I've been building some crazy turbo setups for many years and experienced lots of different platforms, touching various different intake manifolds. In all my journeys have never once seen a manufacturer release any type of flow data for their manifolds. The more info released, the more people that copy your shit. I have flow simulation that I used to design the product however this is not something I would ever post on a forum, sorry.
Curious if you, or anyone, has EVER seen flow data from a manufacturer on an intake manifold as I truly haven't?

I support suppliers that build quality products and im not driving a bloody toyota, if someone wants cheap chinese junk they brought the wrong platform in the first place
I only wish we had a fabricator like shawn here in oz id give the bloke enough work to keep him working 100hrs a week if he could
Keep up the awesome work Shawn

Sorry I got everyone worked up! With the chinese turbo thing I was perusing Alibaba and came across the manifold. I agree the FF one looks spectacular and clearly different but there some striking similarities in shape. Knock off? For sure.
This Chinese company has been doing this for some time. They make them for supras and other cars I believe.
First couple of hundred hp is cheap.
Then you stop looking at prices Cause it's ridiculous but you need it.

More tweaking from @martymil, more gains, adding more area under the curve
Great results on a beautiful intake manifold! I'm upset I missed that contest now. Would have been great to score on a few hundred bucks off. Ugh lol. Forum discount?
Thank you for your inquiry and not just bitching about my standard pricing, happy to work with anyone who takes the time to reach out! Hope you enjoy the new manifold and look forward to your results!

Thank you for the reply. The results in this thread were exactly what I was looking for in a front facing intake. The fact that its a work of art is just icing on the cake!
