    Looks like a kick-arse piece of engineering...probably need to have the group A buldge though to make it fit.

    Im pretty sure they fit under the bonnet fine... They have a website but I cant remember it. They sell 70mm throttle bodies and a few other things for the VN-VR V6 as well.

    Really you can be defected for it? Is it actually meant to enhance performance? I was just a little interested. A supercharger setup welded to fit the manifold would most probably look and go really good. ****in pricey tho for something that doesn't show much info

    yeah any mods to the intake manifold arn't allowed here in S.A. It would increase performance, as to how much - i'd be quite keen to know. I've got a blower aswell and thought that would go nicely with it, but oh well...

    Would look aright on the buick i reckon. Wish it wasn't defectable in SA. Might have considered buyin one with my tax cheque if one created some decent gains in power.
