I dunno. Not looking to peddle a product here and this isn't a car obviously. It's our carbon fiber intake manifold for the GT-R that I feel is quite unique and I wanted to share it! The enlarged, contoured plenums are made of layered carbon fiber while the runners are made from CNC'd aircraft quality billet aluminum. Seals between carbon fiber and aluminum are made by using either gaskets or a highly reliable aerospace bonding agent. The timeframe to bring this from an idea to what is seen in the pictures was a few years in the making. It was a long wait. There was no precedence for such a design in our portfolio and we wanted to make it the best intake manifold for any high horsepower GT-R producing over 800 horsepower. Thankfully, after all the R&D, this is what we came up with! Thought it would be cool and informative to show everyone. :proud:
