gl finding one. only way youll find one is if someone has one and doesnt want it and the only way that would be if they sold the car or really really really need money

Make one yourself.

There's an online shop called Ross that sells aluminum intake manifold pieces. You can then use the flange off a stock manifold.

^^^ Everyone talks sh!t about doing that, but no one ever does it. It seems to me that if someone could put something together for under $400 shipped, they would quickly become a rich person, even if they only made $50-$100 on each unit, based on the continued interest in replacing the intake manifold. The problem with the airram is that it was priced out of the range for a single mod for most people. So high price = low demand = no more airrams. If I had the equipment or knew how to weld for that matter I would attempt this, but I don't. But I'm looking to find someone close to me who does that would like to take a shot at it. Geez we got guys on here fabricating complete turbo setups, how friggin hard is it to get this together!!



Oh and if you've got an extra $700 there's a site someone posted on here from the UK that still is selling airrams. Do a search.

my dad is going to be making one for me hopefully. I will have it set up to use a mustang throttle body. The key is just figuring out how to get it to flow right. Ive been doing a lot of research on this and i started a thread about it. If I can get it to work out and get a solid gain off of it Im sure I could get a couple extra made. But I defiantely wouldnt promise anything since its jsut going to be kind of an experiment for now.

Seems like there's a pretty big demand still for Airrams or any other intake manifold for our Tibs. Couldn't one fo the vendors on here look into possibly a 5-10 people group buy? I think we already have 5 guarantees and you could probably raise it up to 10 once the word got out the one was being fabricated. Just my opinion...
