looks nice

so is this bar actually stronger than the stock bar?
the connection from the bar to the brackets doesn't look very beefy

Sorry if I missed it, but did you ever give a review of the cosworth plenum?

At the moment I cant, as my plenum is leaking... One day I 'll be able to give you a review. It looks pretty.

Looks good .... but I would have to see it tested on the track to buy it... does not look like it can withstand high g's.

You're like the third person I've heard that had a leak or potential leak with this plenum... Is it your endcaps that are leaking?

Jonnylaw had endcaps that didn't mate flush. And another guy on the FI forum actually sent his back to cosworth for replacements... Can't remember his handle off the top of my head though.

Actually, the endcaps as a whole were fine, there's was just a small imperfection on one of the cap's insides. I have yet to really experience any problems with it once it was installed (other than making less power than the MD setup )

It was Eagle who sent his unit back for repair by Cosworth, So I think he is really the only person to have problems. All of the other cos plenums sold (mostly through IP), have been installed problem and defect-free, some with a good amount of boost.

I still feel for Eagle though, For the price and company's reputation, it shouldn't have been leaking like that.

Yeah its sucks for Eagle but you kinda have to expect at least one not being perfect.
