"The Intake above make true 40+ HP. If you can get 20 HP more it would be worth the money"

So would more people be concerned with more hp up top or on the low/mid range???

Some people have reported around 30 HP from the Lindsey manifold. I think it will be hard to come up with a cheaper manifold that performs as good or better.
But a carbon fiber manifold for more or less the same money with the same results would be nice

I'm pretty sure Konstantin refers to the intake made by Porsche Motorsport.

The intake is not made by Porsche. It is made by a Swedish "Volvo" guy and just have the Porsche Motorsport loggo. Its made for a 3 liters engine.

Does this part exist?? If yes how much are they? If not I know the guys who make the carbon stuff for the McLaren F1 team and I can get them made, they will be quite pricey though. If there is enough real interest I can look into it

Listen, we don't want just any amateur making these things. If you don't have someone with some credentials, then don't post.
