Plastic, although overall the plastic and the aluminum intake manifold externally appear very similar. I doubt there is much difference honestly.
We are not the first to attempt an intake manifold, and I know a few have tried after us. She is not simple. I'm not convinced that ITBs will generate a large improvement in the powerband either yet.
We even ran the OE manifold and our manifolds on a flow bench with various bell horns, runner lengths, and overall designs trying to figure out where our unit was not flowing as well with confusing results to say the least.
I hope someone figures out an improved unit in the end though. I'd like to learn where we went wrong for future projects. Again, my hats off to the OE engineers on this one.
Thanks,
Eric
