plastic is great but not for tards who spray a cobalt....1DUMKID said it all. funny though.

[young geezer]

it reminded me of the f&f 1. "you lucky the welds on the intake didnt crack."

[2genCRX]

a lot of companys use plastic I/M's now.
some dude broke his plastic intake mani with 11psi of boost with an alpine kit when i was working for them, it was pretty funny.

That just sad, a plastic manifold

There have been articles about plastic compounds that are stronger than metal for years now. Get into the now gentlemen.

[Weston]

Plastic is good for keeping intake air temps down for longer, but not so good for containing explosions.

[Pang]

beautiful.

[Minotaur]

NICE. Take that! That 30k into your cobalt SS could go very fast in other places and explode less due to cheapness on stupid parts (unless it's a DSM)

I like the plastic IM's, can't think of what else has them, but it's a super idea.

[BlueFang08]

NAWS! God i didn't even know you could make a manifold out of plastic... Sad

[Brian]

Plastic for parts like IM's is quite common these days. Thermo plastics and carbon fiber are stronger and lighter than alloy based materials.

My legacygt has a plastic intake manifold. I bought a cast STI manifold for it, but never installed it. Someone buy it from me. :)

[HONDA GHANDI]

nitrous on the launch before the car even moves is a recipe for destruction, plastic or not.

[meat-market]

ls1's have plastic intake manifolds too..

pretty old news...

[honda1982]
