thats pretty cool, get that thing powder coated.
I wonder if it has any effects on manifold temps?

 

thats prety cool i'd do it but i have a s4 turbo manifold. and no your not the only one who has thought of it. lol

 

holy thread revival!!

 

2oz wieght removal and now the mess below the manifold can be seen, in my opinion this is a step down rather than up.

 

it looks cool... but i wouldnt do it. gj on your completion.

 

A bit of an old thread, but cool work nonetheless. I've done this to several NA manifolds (including my own) and TII manifolds and it really helps the look of the engine bay. It makes the engine seem more intricate. One could also argue that the increase airflow around the runners means a cooler intake charge, though I doubt it makes much of a difference.

Now just polish the casting marks off and either chrome, powder coat or anodize...

 

very sexy, gonna copy you

 

Nice. I applaud you sir.

 

not bad that actually looks really good....you can just tell all the ricers that its a custom made manifold for your 200 shot of nitrous lol.....

 

If nothing else, it might be easier to wrap with insulation, keeping the intake temps down...hmmm.

 

TrueBlue do you work for Jet Blue or something??!@
Hook me up on tickets.lol

Beautiful work you did to the manifold.
Can I send you a few of mines?
I can think of a few ways this helps and one of them being more space for heat to pass and escape from the area under the manifold.

Send me a PM.

 

whatever? If you got the time and money and know how...have at it. If nothing more than it's easier on the eyes.

 

*cough* vacuum leak *cough*

naw looks cool, just as long as u didn't hit the runners, now go bolt it down under the throttle body so no one can see it again...

 

I love threads getting kicked up randomly over the years.

 

THREAD ZOMBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, 2 years.

lol

 

Thread revived 2 times...skill.

I like the way it looks, then again, I've never seen one of those before. damn my S4..

 

Nice. Good for easier access, at the least.

 

except if he tried to pull the motor now, he could no longer attach to the manifold in anyway and would have to put block plates into the block to lift it.

 

Nice work, not sure if it's worth the trouble but it's nice detailing.

 

Useless but different.

 

I hadn't thought of that before. I'm glad you said that Icemark. I was thinking about doing this if I got bored enough, but I need it to support the engine for installation.

 

thats some mAd tYTe weight saving skillz y00

 

if anything it like the eldabrock intake manifold i had on my blazer the one with the air gaps in between the runners was rated 10hp higher then the one with out if anything it helps but does anybody sell these yet after 2 years we need an update or something

 

As apposed to what? Painting your car kind of useless but different?

 

Maybe a better phrase would have been functionless but different It does look a bit better, doesn't improve anything though. Even if you can now see under it, you can't reach through it to get to anything under it. And I sure any extra flow around it is negligible. All I meant was that it is aesthetically pleasing but that's it. Which is fine, since I'm that's all the OP was going for.
