I worked on one last night for a while and let me tell you, it is a PITA. And all I was doing was the first polishing step. Once again I can see Doug is not making what he needs to on these. And for those of you who expect one for $50 . . . .Hahahahaha. The last statement was aimed at one person in particular!

Good to hear about the lack of blingage. I'll take function before form 99 times out of a 100, and I think most people who will actually put their money where there mouth is are going to be the same, wait and see. If there is one thing I've learned from auto message boards is that for every 10 people that talk about buying some mod and beg for it to get made, less than half of them are going to actually buy it. Those worrying about looks aren't going to fork the money over nearly as often as those looking for performance first and foremost.
Speed is an addiction, vanity is just a lifestyle. You don't feed a lifestyle, you feed an addiction.

this may be a dumb question, or three, but here goes
1) I see on strictlyz.com a polished manifold is $450. Im guessing that is from Crawford?
2) I live in Memphis, and while installing the grounding kit noticed there are a TON of bolts holding on the intake manifold and Im lazy, so how much would installation run?
3) Why not just put spacers between the strut tower brace and the suspension points to lift it over the manifold? Hood clearance issues or what?
Thanks.

Well that sucks, I was hoping it was for the crawford plenum, but knew that was too good to be true!
Please dont answer the question if you don't know. That helps nobody. Thank you.
