“yeah I’m drunk officer but you didn’t see me driving my car and honestly could you blame me if I did?, the smooth taste of tooheys new is worth the fines but”

Leave the engine cover off it just acts like a blanket and traps heat in.

they’re **** ugly aswell, good riddance

Holdencallous, I think it would be tricky to make them. One, you really need a mill and two having all the measurements exact is tricky. If there was a set that could be copied it would be fairly easy, but trying to use the manifold to gauge the holes would take some skill.

You’re not wrong mate, it would be a bitch of a thing to do.

There was a guy a few years ago, who made one at home.

He used a drill press. I think it was made of aluminium?

You ever heard of making patterns from cardboard?

I have heard of it.

And aluminium would defeat the purpose of it as the main goal is to thermally separate the manifold from the engine.
I wonder what his gains were like, surely they can’t be as much as something that keeps the manifold cooler.
