thanks!

ya i have always specialized in fuel system related components and unfortunately, most of them, you cannot see once they are installed. Brandon and I did some killer billet intake manifolds for the 350z/G35 just so that we could have something that sits in plain site. it doesnt get any better than a massive polished billet intake manifold with relocated throttle etc, to really stand out and grab some attention. we had to compensate for 90% of what we build getting stuck inside gas tanks or tucked away hidden deep in the engine bay. I have attached a photo of said intake manifold (along with the billet Y adapter we machined.. unseen there is the billet upper endtank on the intercooler we also did when building that Y pipe). We actually have CAD development started on a VHR intake manifold... it is unknown if we will move forward with it until this winter. I will need to use my car for the R&D on it, and I havent decided yet if I will be keeping the car.

the funny thing with this particular product... i wish i could be there to watch everyone try and install it so carefully without scratching it up. the edges on the tank are so sharp and the parts are maximum size to get the most displacement... its going to be really hard to install this without scratching it up. its going to be like playing the old game "operation". i bet that down the road, when some guys start parting out their cars to get new ones, and they remove this kit and post it for sale... its going to look so scratched up that prospective buyers are going to be asking "what the hell happened to that thing??"
