Tony,
 
Just speaking for myself, I haven't responded because I've already fought the fight on the intake.  I hope I never have to build another intake.  But, for those who have yet to tackle this task, your oval-to-round adapters should make things much easier.  Maybe you could also have some flanges cut for the more popular engines and sell kits.  Leave the final details to the builder.

Do we as a rotory community not need this type of lite weight aluminum tubing that is perfectly matched to our ports? I thought one of the big obstacals was our intake manifolds have things changed and I wasn't aware? OR is everyone happy with using a Paul -Port. Which by the way talking to Dave at Mazdatrix revealed several inconsistencies in his P-port reporting.

This whole thing started becasue I can't find a manifold that isn't a chunk of extruded hunk of aluminum that weighs more than my car.
Seems easy enought to just weld four tubes of the correct size to an aluminum plate. and that is it. We can mandral bend them have them straight what ever. I guess I'm surprized by the groups reaction or lack of.
