I was looking at pictures of hyundai tiburons and i saw more intake manifolds then the original and the air ram. Performancecoupé has got an alternative on the air ram. However this alternative costs 1k. Are there more alternatives? Or is that the only one that is avalible at the moment.

If this subject already has been coverd sorry. If not, please post if you know a company that makes intake manifolds for the hyundai tiburon.

Everyone keeps saying RPW and other sites have them, I've looked and have seen NONE.

Post up the pictures of the ones you are talking about.

^^^
It costs 1,045.43 USD The 4 pipes are much shorter than the oem ones and the air ram ones.
Throttle body flange.

Intake manifold


It is not listed on the website of performancecoupe but they do sell it.

Also Braker of Greek tiburon club sells the one of the project kappa tiburon.

It costs 732.37 USD and is also custom made.

Both prices are without shipping costs.

This is all i know but the air ram is sooo wanted why did they stop making it ?

Welds look like its aluminium welded. So its lightweight. but if the inside of the intake manifold is smooth then its not a problem i think.

No, you are right, I was just looking at how it was made. Looks like they did what we've been talking about. Got a universal part and put a hyundai flange on it.

Just too goddamned expensive.

Yeah i know but i think the air ram was so cheap because it was molded that is why it does not have welds and stuff. They also sold it to manny people so that is why they could lower the production costs.

SOCKS you are absolutly right 1k is just too much. But like i said do you know alternative's ? You already have a air ram. I cant buy one because evry time someone is selling one the americans will see it first because i am sleeping when its daytime there.
