So the exhaust heats up the intake

Most cars, keep the intake on top and the exhaust separated below to prevent that


EDIT found vid of it running, barely.. it seems to be easy to stall

Sounds lumpy to me..not a fan of that kind of sound.. defo not refined.

so it's an LS engine, so those grey are the valve covers, ok, stand corrected.
Still think it's the exhaust is bling not performance tho.


To be honest I think the whole thing is more about looks than actually driving. A local guy did the same intake on his LS and really fought with it. Just could not get it to idle. All those individual throttle bodies look cool but I do not think they work that well.
