Topic: What's the coolest-looking intake manifold?
I posed this question for Jalopnik readers today, but I think Lemons racers will make better selections. Whaddya think? Taurus SHO? Porsche 928? Plymouth Sonoramic?

Re: What's the coolest-looking intake manifold?
Ok, it's not very modest of me... but I think the Mercedes V12 intake manifold was pretty bad ass... the thing was half as tall as I was and one solid unit. This picture doesn't even show the whole thing, I'll see if I can find another pic:

Re: What's the coolest-looking intake manifold?
Even though I'm building my 96 with a two-stroke, I'm sticking with the answer I posted on Jalopnik: the SAAB Sport & Rally intake for the V4:
Plenty more pics of that car here:

Nothing says speed like 16 cylinders with mechanical injection with twin distributor. Even though it is a P car.
Then there is just crazy everything. I would not even want to be sitting in the seat when it lit off.

Re: What's the coolest-looking intake manifold?
Ok ok... I have to admit that the intake does not look as cool when fully installed unfortunately...

Re: What's the coolest-looking intake manifold?
On the J I said either the GT-R's or the slant six, but after mulling it over, I definitely prefer the leaning tower o' power.

We got screwed at The Real Hoopties of New Jersey and we took cars down with us.
We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

Right click the picture and select 'view image', they have an anti-embedding mod on the server it is hosted on.

Re: What's the coolest-looking intake manifold?
All of these are prety exotic... As far as "real" cars go, the 1983 Toyota starlet has a great one... For little bitty chromed stacks.. Also the Alfa late v6's have nice ones too...
"Don't mess with Lexas!" LS400. We survived another one! See website link for build details.

Re: What's the coolest-looking intake manifold?
the 928, love the TB under the intake, looks like a spider. Also the Mercedes 6.3 was pure sex:
the Syndicate - 30 losses and counting ...
89 VW Jettarosa - #337 (11 motors later) <> 67 Mercedes 200 - #200, winner "most with the least" MSR Feb 11, IOE at MSR June 11 <> 88 Mercedes 560 SEL <> 76 Mercedes SLC - IOE at ECR March 13 <> now pimping performance parts for 1970-1980's Mercedes SEL, SEC, SL, SLC's

My HS physics professor taught us to use one of those. I could keep up with someone with a calculator. He did it because calculators were prohibited from the standardized testing, but no mention was made of slide rules.
