It's not going to sell in the 5 gen forums because they say if they remove the intake with this intake then their car won't be numbers matching anymore. Lol

They actually have a thread about 30 pages lOng about spark plug wires making horse power. Not to mention how they can feel In the seat of their pants how a ported TB makes such good horsepower.

I wonder if this intake fixes the #7 piston issue by starving the 4 back cylinders.

This is the worst manifold I have ever seen in person, I bought it off someone online and man, it looked a whole lot better than what showed up. It is probably the worst time I've been had on a single part. I learned.




One on the bottom






I got it used off of a guy and I didn't even take a picture of the runners they were so horrible.

Instead I went and had this manifold made.

No kidding man...they literally scolded me for calling out Chuck CoW (who I still say SUCKS)...and the V6 owners get all defensive about nothing...and yes, a C5 is a 97-2004 Corvette!!!

That intake manifold SUCKS!!!...I think I have put better welds on aluminum...and I've never had any professional training, just what I've done myself screwing around with a TIG welder.
