  • @rickcperry Very clever, thanks!

  • @vochitoken Take an original part and trace the outlines. Rough cut the bulk out and double stick tape it to a piece of MDF and route the pattern. Hand sand any changes you want in the final part and then follow the AWESOME video. This trick isn't limited to intakes, I've made interior parts and brackets the same way.

  • @TheRacingwits a lot, if not a majority of the high performance intake manifolds on race cars especially when weight is a factor are made of aluminum. It doesnt get too hot

  • Very nice, but how did you make the wood guide in the first place?

  • beautiful  work

  • wow that came out nice! very innovative way to do it.

  • Thanks for posting. Very interesting approach.

  • Esslinger aint got nothing on John!!!!!!
