Q: Will this manifold be plastic?
A: This manifold will be a two-piece design aluminum casting that is CNC machined with a powder coated black finish. It will also feature at least one set of bosses for a direct port nitrous system to be fitted.
Q: Will this intake sacrifice low RPM and midrange power?
A: The length of the runners have not been compromised or reduced, so the use of this manifold is not expected to have a substantial effect midrange power/torque. The IMRC plates WILL NOT be supported by this manifold, which will (just as removing these plates on the stock
manifold) result in a small loss of low RPM responsiveness. Since this intake is not intended for people with "stock" setups, the overall gain in useable power will more than offset any losses in the lower RPM's.
Q: How much will it cost?
A: At this time, we are unable to quote an "exact" price, as we will not know the final production cost per unit until we have made our first run of pre-production samples. This product will be priced reasonably.
Q: Can I be one of the first to try (a pre-production unit) it on my vehicle?
A: We have received MANY requests for this, and we already have a wide selection of various test vehicles which will be getting the first units for evaluation. The results from most of this testing will be made available for all to see here on our website.
Q: When will it be available for sale?
A: As mentioned earlier, this product has been in development for quite some time. Tooling is just about finished and we should be casting test pieces anyday. Preliminary fit testing has been performed on our in-house Mustang on several different occasions, so we are fairly confident that there will be no physical fit issues. We have completely reworked our mold tooling for a different casting process and the product should be ready for sale "soon".
