Re: Sheet metal intakes ttt
Ok this is what we know so far on pricing for different intakes:
- Nitrous Warehouse, aka LS-Spyder, is $3550 for intake, fuel rail and nitrous bongs.
- Hogan's Manifolds, LS6 Style, $2750 for polished intake, fuel rails, and nitrous bongs.
- Speed Inc, about $1800 for the intake and fuel rails. Nitrous bongs might be more.
Clearly the Speed Inc looks better( al least price wise ), but I am sure there are other makers. Let see if the list can be added to.

Re: Sheet metal intakes A friend of mine locally did one out of 1/2" billet about a year ago. He has seen the LS1Speed/RGR sheetmetal intake and his was similar a bit nicer but he did his for $2500...
So if someone thinks they can economically bang out sheetmetal intakes that don't leak and flex that is fantastic but a bad leak can result in a blown headgasket.
