Default Strange manifold (plenum) on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Intak...05347455QQrdZ1

Is this the "coffin" plenum ?

Also very funny the sellers nick ...

And another one, somehow this only appears to be for 4 cylinders...

The company thats selling it ... if you check the name...
Is Performance Motorsport.
www.theexperience.com aka Vinny Ten's shop.

I'd be willing to bet its a knock-off of good quality (PM doesn't build crap-provided it's actually built BY them) at an affordable price.


The second auction link - Dunno bout that one.

Exactly, people can search SFR or speed force racing for the threads about the coffin plenum.

Yes..Thats why is for sale on Ebay and not the forums where it would get ripped apart, like this.That design was tried by Kinetix,and SFR and it does NOT work period...If you want to prove otherwise, buy it, then do before and after dynos..

That may be true but that does not mean that he or the rest of his crew built/fab that manifold. For all you know they are selling it for a client that swapped manifolds or thats not performance motorsports selling the manifold at all.

Vinny may know his ****, but that does not mean that manifold works..
