Why would they have to be aluminum?

..and yes, I have access to a tig welder.

It's a 5/8" steel flange.

Oh I thought you wanted to have a smooth transition from your itbs to your runners, so i figured you were going to weld them. That would be the only reason I could see you doing all the work. (making a flange/runners etc) where as you could just take a stock one and do the same thing I did?

I assume you are just going to use silicone connectors similar to what I did?

I'm making the flange because it's only costing me $20, and just welding the runners on.

I didn't use a stock manifold, so that they would line up better.

im having problems sizing the picture
[img width=450 height=350]http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic.php?u=2375Jb6j6&i=23775[/img]


but....
it lines up perfect. why wouldnt this work? we will connect it with silicone hose...

Depending on _how_ far back you put it, you might run into firewall clearance issues when you put the velocity stacks on.

Ehh i was just thinking, and come to think of it i have never seen it executed nor mentioned for that matter. Why not point the ITB's up towards the hoood and use a scoop to actually make all those gay hoood scoops into use and ITB's setup more efficient.

If you rag on the time and effort i took to make this then screw you i was going to leave you guys with this

You'd have a lot of turbulance in the runners that way.. ...and unless it has enough force to compress the air (which it doesn't) I don't think it'll more effective than "tuning" the runners based on scientific princples..

Well the picture doesn't mean anything i'm pretty sure there would be enough room to correctly make a gradual bend in the runners

bacially it would be to much air.
how many PSI's would you be pushing?

You'd be lucky to push 1"psi" with that sort of a ram air effect.. but.. I don't think the benefit would out weigh the design issues.
