that's made of sheet metal. One of the sponsors is selling it on ebay with a bunch of other stuff. It costs over $1000 to make it, but they are selling it for around $400. Go look in the for sale section and find one of the sponsor posts that says something like "Clearance" or something. Maybe MTI, but I don't quite remember.

What I'm trying to figure out is why in the hell would someone pay that much money to have something like that built?? Despite that though, I wonder how it performs. Anybody wanna spend $500 and test it out?? Definately wins the ugly award though...

That really looks like it would have some serious issues with clearance!

that looks like R2D2's intestines. if the welds look like that on the insiide then it probably flows like ****. Imagine, all that work when you can just get a perfectly good flowing LS6 intake for under 400 bucks.

It is ugly as sin, but in a way its a work of art. You have no idea how hard that would be to tig up. Anyways, I was just curious as to how it flowed and if anybody ever used one. It had to suit a purpose at the time it was made. I almost want to buy it and find out myself, but even at 500 its not worth it, if it flows like ****, ive got an ugly doorstop, if it flows good, I highly doubt it would outflow a FAST.
