looks like an aebs replica or whatever you b-series guys use all the time. doesnt look to bad looks liek you could get some usable power from it. if you do get it make sure you check the plenum and runners for excess slag and definatly check the port alignment to a gasket and gasket match if necessary.

I use a AEBS intake mani., they're supposed to be better than a Skunk2 manifold. As far as you put them on the same motor and run them head to head on the dyno. They are cheap though, I got mine from a friend that never used it for $120.

Umm it says right in the auction it's "patterned" after the AEBS. Just buy it...worst is that the flange isn't true.

They are good.Professional Products makes mainly SBC stuff but its probably a good piece as really there is like $15 in aluninum in a intake manifold for a Honda

It is patterned after the popular JDM Type R manifold and was developed in conjunction with AEBS (Advanced Engine Breathing Systems) to directly replace your stock intake and produce an average gain of 15 to 20 horsepower compared to a stock manifold on an otherwise stock engine.
it is an AEBS manifold. Good stuff.
