i completely agree with you man...i really dont lost that manifold...thats why im considering slicing the bottom of the UIM off right at the seam, and building a manifold box from the underside of the UIM down

since i just wrote that, i've really be thinking about this alot

basically building a plenum into the bottom of the UIM...that way i can keep it looking the same with the nice FD UIM...and the plenum will gain me the flow im looking for

what do you guys think???

i was thinking something like this

the first pic is of a stock UIM

then in the second one, i added in the blue surround where the "plenum" would be made
the green line is the seam where i would cut to bring the plenum area down

let me know what you guys think

I think i that that sounds like a pretty good idea, but would you plan on changing the shape of the pipes going into the LIM or just keeping them the same?

nm i just looked at the pic and looks like there wouldnt be any reason to change it.

Nice, any fitment/rubbing issues? Did you have to modify the brackets at all?
