It says that is called a Qualifier and is made by Speedmaster. And it's $220 bucks, so it's not really a typhoon. Cheap knock off?

First thought (might be incorrect) is "chinese junk"

It would definitely be a knock off if it's not Professional products. Buyer beware...

for 220 bucks you could modify it and still be up, as long a the port positions are right

Someone thought the same thing about the chinese knock off sheetmetal intake too...and even after modification it made less power than the stock intake it was meant to replace.

Put that $220 towards the Dorman ls6 copy

Oh I'm not considering buying this thing, just surprised to see it. I was searching for a replacement manifold for my truck and this thing popped up.

Then again, after seeing Stan Chatwoods' #64 Camaro, this is OBVIOUSLY a quality piece.

Um, is it just me or if you zoom in on the casting at the drivers side purge port, does it look like it's kind of falling apart?

Interesting and maybe helpful for some people, as given the cost of brand new LS intakes these knock offs etc can be tempting. But you get what you pay for.

Hey guys I've been investigating this too. Im not trying to say that it ISNT a cheap chinese knock off but if you scroll down in the ebay add it talks about the "Speedmaster" brand and their other products. It also talks about their "racing team" where these guys run only speedmaster products. Even had some of their products at SEMA??????? Heres the link, scroll down and check it out.
