That manifold doesn't look like it'll distribute airflow efficiently (evenly) to all cylinders, and looks like it was poorly designed and will cause a lot of driveability and lean/rich cylinder problems. Maybe that image isn't a good representation of what it actually looks like..

Hahah, but this one definitely looks worse then the LSX, and the LSX is better then the LS2 manifold, so I'd say the only manifold better then the LSX is the Harrop. Needless to say, depending on your application, the LSX will definitely be better then that "thing".....

How is that when they are the ones that designed the fast 90 intake. Hence the wilson logo on the top of it. The other intake looks pretty nice to me.

just had one of these manifolds from wilson delivered to my door here in australia.
i also got there lsx 95mm throttle body.

what else can i say! BUT that manifold is a "WORK OF ART"

best AU $4500 + postage i have ever spent! trust me the pics on the web site do it no justice, you got to see this thing in the flesh.
keep in mind its a race only manifold with massive flow capabilitys,what i really love about it is it has nice long bell mouthed runners with a good size plenium all built as one. this way you dont have to have a plenium sitting on a stack of runners hanging out of the bonnet like in the past when biulding a serious engine and being wilson the world leaders in manifold designs you can be confident in there R/D that it flows the very best hp figure and torque balance possible for a FI sheet metal ls1 manifold.

I could not justify a 3k manifold for anything short of an all out race car that is trying to break some record.
