Anyone know who made these plenums for the GTR? I suspect they were made here in the US since I saw several similar ones on non-GTR cars. Admittedly this goes back to the mid-80's but someone must know who this awesome fabricator is.

Do you have any reason to suspect it wasn't made in the original shop Michael? Their handiwork and skillset looked very capable of making that plenum/intake.

I suspect it was made by a sheetmetal fabricator outside of Andial and Fabcar, Patrick. I only say this because it took unique metal forming skills which I've not seen come out of the shops mentioned. Further, the early MFI engines by McLaren had similar plenums. !t is someone I'd like to have in my contact list!
