WOW!!!

How's it sound?
How's it feel?
Any dyno?

I know you said a week, but surely you can give us SOME more info, or this will be a 1 week teaser.


Looks badass.

Also, can there be any problems now that whats under the manifold is exposed? I can see some wiring which doesn't have any thing protecting it, such as rubber hoses?

Is this designed for NA or TT? Also, will the strut bar have to be eliminated for this to work?
Its nice to see more products coming out, especially intake manifolds since up until about 2 months ago there was only one.
Looking forward to the dynos!

I think we can set the over/under at 1.5 days before representatives of a certain group come in here slinging ********

Is the throttle body piping missing on the pics attached on the car? I can't see the bend where the throttle body would be sitting at. Looks good though, now get some hard dyno# on this new intake plenum.

Not likely.....some of the mount positions are removed. Why would you want to cover it up anyway??

It's designed to deliver optimal flow and equal distribution to the motor. It will benefit on both NA and Forced induction applications. We will have a comparison of Twin Turbo stock intake manifold vs our Intake manifold soon.

As far as expected gains, it's really hard to say.

I have voiced some concerns before about the problems with an aftermarket manifold.....especially with regards to the power brake system that is integrated into the factory lower plenum. Why do yo think Crawford did it the way they did? They tried it all.
I do give props for the design though...it would br great for F/I...if the brake issue has been addressed.

Jesus some people on this board have the Crawford bug bad...
People fail to realize that marketing is just that, marketing. Obviously anyone is going to generate reasons to explain why their design is superior. Is the crawford crew the end all zen master of the VQ35, hell no!! Is it possible someone could improve upon their design, hell the 1st person to the table after them did.
I'm not saying that this is necessarily better but I can think of no definitive reason why it couldn't be given the limited amount of information we have at this point.

How about, just once, we wait for more info before reverting to the half assed "I am a crawford lemming and they rule" ********.

Looking good. Hey SSR dont mind these "nay-sayers". Looks like you guys produced a quality product and I'm sure the Z community will love to have some more options on thier plenum choices.

Hahahahah, you are so predictable, I called it. It didn't even take a day and here you are, talking **** about a product that even the manufacturer has not tested the performance of. Why not wait until it has actually been tested before you badmouth it. Oh wait, that would take commonsense, the same kind that would tell someone that going into a thread about a competitor's product and insulting it, regardless of whether or not it is worthy of insult, is a complete and utter DBag move. That sir, is why I Will never buy a product from Crawford Co. It has nothing to do with Doug, who I am sure is both a knowledgeable person and a good businessman. I don't post a whole lot, I'm more of a casual browser, but honestly I can't keep my mouth shut about it anymore. Your business ethics never cease to amaze me. I don't feel as if I should continue as this is a thread about this new product from SSR and not the fact that you have no class.

I would like to apologize to SSR for the momentary hijack. I look forward to seeing the dynos for your manifold.
