Default Intake Manifold

Sup guys, just wondering here. Is there an aftermarket intake manifold for the xb?? For example venom. Or does it have to be custom made?

No real need for it. The stock one is well designed, and composite for low heat absorbtion.

As far as I know, only one company has tried. A lot of talk, and posts here on the forums. Then... nothing. I think they found out that their fancy sheet metal intake was less efficient and produced less power than the factory unit.

MonsterMotorWorks(MMW) made that conccept intake manifold. it looked nice, just didn't do its justice against the OEM manifold

I knew who made it. I left the companies name off intentionally. I didn't want people to get all ____y thinking I was attacking the company on a public forum.

People around here tend to be pretty thin skinned. Even when it isn't even their skin you are talking about.
