Seems easy enough to just weld four tubes of the correct size to an aluminum plate. and that is it. We can mandrel bend them have them straight what ever. I guess I'm surprised by the groups reaction or lack of.

It is a bit more complex.

 

possibly 5 different manifold flanges might be required not, counting the

newer Renesis engine with 4 or 6 ports. The other source of lack of interest is that everyone has a deep seated idea of what an intake manifold aught to look like, based on every input they have been exposed to so far.

 

So there are 200 intake builders out here and they all think they are on the right track, intake wise. If you make up a collection of manifold flanges for each engine style in 6061, and stock a collection of tube bends in aluminum, perhaps you could sell some. But I suspect you would tire of this shortly and loose some money to boot.  

It is not a bad idea but there are not enough customers even if the piece were ideal for the application.

 

Thank you for your research.
