    IMO ecotecs have the ugliest looking manifolds ever. the best looking ones would be the twin manifolds mace make. if i was to ever to try to make one the TB would be facing the front

    Thanks for the kind words ADDICTVY they definitely do look the part In regards to making up a custom one I wouldn't avoid making a toward facing item as mounting the throttle bodies on the side with the standard runners does offer better air distribution between cylinders.

    Sadly both of these items will be discontinued given that they are slow sellers The only time they would move at acceptable rates was when the price was 30% lower then what they should be to be viable.

    Above all the main reason why we've discontinued the twins is because of the other products we've developed such as the manifold insulators and plenum spacers which realistically give you about 80% of the gains of the twin for less then 20% of the cost, with no need for a custom tune to get them working properly etc.

    We have one twin throttle manifold left though

    The price for the reverse single is shown in the link below.

    reverse manifold buying group

    As for the insulators/spacers they are $130 and $180 for the 12 and 25mm items respectively.

    Cheers

    No, we've never made a manifold like the one above and never will

    The main reason is that it would still have the problem poor air distribution between cylinders with the throttles still pointed towards the middle two cylinders

    They certainly looks the goods, however they were a slow seller and when they did sell was not worth making them
