hmm, some nicework there volvosport.

could you write a few words on how you made these?

basically what materials - filler/resin did you use? the CF one, hand lay up or use of vacuum former? flanges - does the manifold continue inside the flange hole or butts up to its face? thickness of flange? any reason why flange cannot be made from GF?

I am not looking for bling just functionaility and cheapness so would be using glass matt, making a 2 formers to make 4 inlets then joining onto 2 flanges.

std layup in polyester resin , the carbon was also hand layup .

theres a guy drag racing a turbo bike engine with theses apparently , not sure how he got on with them .

i glued the carbon intakes to the ally using a high temp epoxy cure .

they got tested on QED dyno , moved the power band upwards, theres some sort of variable reflection going on due too the curve of the intake .
