Nice! My aluminum fabrication experience is with aircraft structure, mostly all cold worked and riveted and/or bonded. Do you make the runners? Other than the thicker flanges, what is the thickness and grade of the aluminum sheet used on your intakes? I'm trying to get an idea how a professional custom intake manufacturer goes about this process. I'd love to see how you do that.

My problem is it will cost me twice as much because i would need to buy two...one for the car and one to sit on my living room table.

The really impressive part is I am certain it will run even better than it looks.

Pretty...What is it going on BillC?

JM, I believe you missed your calling, tap into the artistic field, rather than fooling with ole racing stuff. You ever make any metal sculptures or the like?
