Intake Manifold Market

[Jakey]

Lately I've been noticing that more and more groups are coming out with their version of a high performance DSM intake manifold. What is going to end up separating these in terms what people choose to purchase? Sure HP, but what else, top end power, low end power, streetability, ease of installation, cost, ...................??

(NOTE: In no way am bashing any of the manifold manufacturers)

These are all I've found, so for the choices so far you've got.....
-The Dejon Tool TEL Intake Manifold

-The drtRacing Intake Manifold

-The Magnus Motorsports Intake Manifold

-The Forrester Racing Heads Intake Manifold

-The Ross Machine Racing Intake Manifold

-The Venom Performance Intake Manifold

-The BJ's Cylinder Head Intake Manifold

-The Buschur Racing Intake Manifold

-The VRP Intake Manifold


-The Quick Precision Racing Intake Manifold which I have not seen any pictures of
-Then there's silverbulletAWD on Tuners that has the following to say in this thread:

Hold off on buying your manifolds for a little while fellas. I've spent the last 4 months designing my own design that I plan to go into production with this spring. I've been working on it w/ an Intake Design specialist from one of the "big three", whom I was lucky enough to meet and share some common intrests with. I will be starting a new thread on it here soon, but since you guys are discussing aftermarket manifolds I wanted to chime in.

All I can say right now is: Engineering software, CAD/CAM cababilities, family owned sheet metal fab. shop, TON's of research, and (when the winters over) TON's of testing. All combined with options and a price most closely compared to the lowest priced mani. on this page.

I'm serious as a heart attack about this whole thing. I want to make an impact on the DSM community and I know this is something I can do. My reason for posting this here is because I would like you guy's opinions and I dont want alot of attention on this yet. So what do you think?
