FAWKING AYYYY!! I need to do that!! That would look sooooo trick under the hood with my color!

Me too, I am not even think I would spend $500 for these... being cheap as always They better sell it real quick before some other companies are getting a hand in

Are any of these available still??!!! Also, what are those VRP ones? Do they still make those, and if they do how much HP does it make? I want some!!, and everything else thats coming to the C32 world so fast!!!

I think the VRP manifolds are mainly decorative. The bling factor might net you 5-10 hp though. Even if they are ported, I assure you they will not net any noticable HP. If you've ever seen the inside of the stock ones, you'll know what I mean. The plenum portion of the manifold isn't really the problem. The real problem lies in the inlet tubes. They neck down to almost half the diameter just before entring the open area of the manifold. You can port it until the walls are see-thorough, but it's not going to net you nearly as much flow (thus HP) as a reengineered set like NEEDSWINGS'.

If there is another company working on these as well, please spill the beans! I think this will be a great mod. from any reputable vendor.

Eleventeen is right, the VRP ones are OEM just painted or powercoated.

Thanks guys
So anyone know HP numbers for these? Also, are they available right now, if so how much and how do I get them?!!!
Thanks again guys,

I think the initial test on the prototypes was about +35hp. They have since done some tweeking and teflon coated them, but I don't think they've dynoed (or posted results of) the final version yet.

These are definitely interesting, but the $64,000 question in my mind is "will they even fit a C32" - I believe it's been mentioned a couple times that the SRT-6 guys have a LOT more room to play with at the back firewall. If they do though... could be a big deal, for sure. Highflow intake + highflow plenums + BIG crank pulley (or upper and lower combo) + appropriate cooling mods... you talking some serious rwhp/rwtq out of the M112K

That's what I asked about about 10 posts ago? Hood Clearance issues?? I would love to know as these are going to be put in my CART soon if they work as advertised!!

yeah, you asked in post #10... I echoed this in post #12. Neither of us has an answer yet

Yes we did ask about the same time.

I'd love to get an answer from either the Michigan crew or the California contingent. Cooling is one of the primary issues with the C32 and getting that resolved on the intake side would really help us HP and longevity-wise. Neither side is talking , thus we are stuck in the middle (once again). The C55 guys must be going crazy here because we have YET another mod to add to the arsenal. Meanwhile, my ML-55 is stuck with the only available mods as NOS, pipes, KNs and maybe a $15K Kleeman. Thats about it!! Pulleys dont work for me on that vehicle.

I saw these a few months back on a needswings shop SRT-6. He said this plenums picked up around ~30whp with his current mods (gutted exhaust, asp crank pulley, needswings intake, cooling mods) This is very interesting, too bad it's not cheaper.

This is the info we don't get to hear or read prior to sale...I wonder what it would do for a stock C32 or lightly modded can I presume 8-15 rwhp?

You can "hear it" if you search for it . This was talked about on Rob's [The dude behind Needswings] post on the Crossfire forum.

I'm my opinion this mod is something you would do after increasing boost levels. Your monies would be much better spent on a pulley and cooling mods prior to the new intake manifolds.

I am interested to see what LET has in stock for new intake manifolds. Especially if they are indeed cheaper and produce similar results. I'm all about product loyalty (as some have figured out) but in this economy I need to stretch my dollar as far as I can. I can't wait till November...

What is happening in November?
Also, does anyone know if these are available to purchase yet?

A new president . I just want things to get back on track.

I believe the first set of 15 has been spoken for. I'm assuming that Rob will chime in to let everyone know when the next batch will happen.

Damn, well if anyone wants to get rid of theirs let me know

And lets hope it's the one that will NOT destroy the middle class

See yeah

PS: $50,000 to paint over the flag my a--

November is when all the E55 and E63 guys are racing in Maryland I believe!! Thats why they are pumped for this. I believe that JRCART is taking the Black Series out there to represent Chicago!! Go Jimmy GO!!

Get rid of them?? We haven't gotten them!!!

+30 RWHP just for the intakes, I am oh so in NOW!!! Problem NOW is keeping those Michelin PS II's from spinning all day long

If you find some (or one extra if your getting some) PLEASE share it with me

for those of you that might have missed it. THe dyno results are in, and they are quite impressive. I can't wait to get mine and go for 11's.

Honestly I'm getting all confused on who is doing what now. So we have the LET intake, the pipes between the manifold and intake that 240M3SRT made, and then these manifolds. Each one on it's own seems to claim 20+HP to the wheels. I've been waiting for the LET intake in carbon fiber but now I have no idea wtf to do.

Anyways, here's the pic of the dyno results for those who don't have an account over there.
