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 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.
