And the other picture..

It looks fantastic, performance doesn't matter then!

Were you at AutoItalia Rookie or have you seen this car elsewhere?

I'd say it's all show and no go.

Looks like the perfect way to destroy the flow in the inlet, way too much area per cylinder and/or too short runners, depending on how you see it.

i have to agree mats thats FAR to much air if its in fact "real" especialy with twin TB's

looks wonderful, but likely achieves zip, all that air is wasted. I would say that the divergeance of the runners would cause far too much turbulence at the join too. I think runner lengths are original, but by diverging them lke that, shurely you have effectively shortened them?

Alas no, someone else posted that picture on the BB, so I thought I'd bring it over.

I think it looks fantastic. I sort of doubt there is any performance benefit, but that's tough to say. Airflow is not very predictable, and sometimes weird experiments work out pretty well. It would be interesting to put in on a dyno and see.

P.S. the biggest problem I see there is the lack of red silicone vacuum and coolant bottle hoses. Red plenum couplers would be great to, but the 164 couplers are not available in silicone because they are so small on one end. (the runner end is about 39mm on a 24 valve 3.0, way smaller than on a 12 valve 2.5...what's up with that?)

Too me it's way to much red silicone hose as it is...

Ok, purple then.

On a serious note, the workmanship on that plenum in remarkable. It really looks great.

More sex appeal than a 38dd cup.

Just love it.

.. size is not everything

An interesting way to set up a 24v's inlet manifolds.
