    Default Hmm anyone seen or heard of this bellmouth?

    HOLDEN MANIFLOW V6 3.8L GMH VN,VP,VR - eBay, Air Intake, Fuel Delivery, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 29-Jan-09 16:35:17 AEDST)

    I had a look around summit racing and couldnt find one listed. Searched google and nothing... Im interested in what effect it would have on the vn-vp's. Anyone here bid on it?

    Looks like a replacement for the standard bellmouth. Probably not worth the money it's gonna cost. You'd be better off spending that extra $50 on better tyres next time round

    I cant believe people are paying money for that crap, it wont do jack shiznit, you could just take your factory one out and do the same thing or just take it out and leave it out,

    I've noticed no power difference from having it, to not having it... so I can't see why having half of it there would be any good ^^

    I mean, it's not like the VN S2 had any less power from the factory than the VN S1... that should be proof enough!

    I think in redbook awhile back it had vn S1 with more N/M than the S2 only like 1-2nm, but i dought it does much but for a F/I car i think it will matter abit more.

    I havent bid on it nor bought it lmao, i seen it and went to have a look on the electronic brain to see what it would do and see if it does as he says.
    I couldnt find any info on it at all which is weird. The inside of it looks like it was designed in mind of the fuel saver ideas which i thought was strange. But no i wouldnt buy it i dont need a bellmouth (blower will go on soon).

    made my own from home , all it gains you is a very small amount of top end, not worth the trouble

    lol, I'm not sure whats more impressive how stupid some people are or the skills other people have in scamming money. Either way I don't think I'll be buying a "maniflow" even if it does come with instractions

    1. it looks like something he built himself
    2. Summit Racing in USA doesnt build stuff, theyre a speed shop, selling parts.
    3. its still a restriction. one needs to open up the flare at the base of it to make any gains from it, not cut a few holes in the wall.

    i dont think the yanks ran a bellmouth in their l27, so i dont know why he was carrying one around on his trip to the us.

    omg i just realised something, the cutaway parts? they're not cutaway, just cut and folded in, it's meant to spin the air, like those vortex/turbine things that they sell to jam in your intake pipe

    maybe the guy is making a few of them and selling more? i could cut one of them up and sell it for $50, then spray it silver. you could make yourself rich selling car parts to dumb 18 year olds

    This bellmouth is the most homebrand thing I've seen in years.

    It seems to be a normal bellmouth cut off and remade with a thin sheet of alluminium, but I can imagine that with time the bent bits will fatigue and go down the ports
