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.
Mace you should post up some info on ya twin throttle body manifold and your reverse single throttle body manifold
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
