Holy Crap

That's expensive for an Intake Manifold. Isn't there anyone/any other company out there that makes a similar product but a lower price? Geesh.

Dude, seriously someone could build that a whole lot cheaper than $880. The welds are sloppy and the surge tank looks like it was once exhaust tubing. Could've at least done some nice clean tig welds and chrome dipped the whole thing, still wouldn't be worth $880 but would lessen the sting.

Sure, it could be BUILT for less, but an intake manifold has to get a large amount of research and development in order to work well, and that cost is spread out among the few specialty manifolds built.

That in mind, that manifold doesn't look like a precision built product at $880.

you really only want that for a nice turbo app Gonzo, save your money for a 2.4 OEM manifold kit if you really want to upgrade that.
