Just a quick blurb: Almost every single piece on this intake system is machined in our CNC machine or made by tooling that was made in our CNC machine. These parts that go into the intake system cannot be made by injection molding process due to the complexity of the design.

The tubing is a specific grade aluminum alloy that has very precise ID and OD tolerances in the range of +/- 0.005" The resonance chamber is made from 0.125" thick walled 5052 aluminum alloy. We decided to use thicker walled materials to increase the strength of the intake system as well as allow us to keep very tight tolerances and minimize distortions causes by the machining/welding/manufacturing process.
