LDK intake manifold - black, lightly ported.
$90 shipped in the US
So as you see it's painted black. It isn't show quality but it'll do for a daily. The porting isn't super-mega-perfect obviously. It's all hand done. The port shapes have not been altered. Runner port openings are roughly 1-1.2mm wider than stock and .2-.4mm taller than stock. That's how bad the stock pitting is. Stock runners were pretty different sizes across the 4 ports. This is just something I did because I was bored and had the tools to do it.
The same guy asked me several times on CL what performance gains were. I don't have an LNF. I can't tell you. BYT is the first who did this and noticed, "better mid range and better throttle response." But to be honest you are paying used prices for a new manifold, so who cares what the gains are?
PICS:

A different O-ring. ZZP told me it's a fuel injector O-ring. If I recall correctly I think I measured the MAP hole as 12 or 12.5mm. Doubt a tune is absolutely necessary but would optimize the manifold.

Boop. Surely someone wants this. I also have a plain aluminum one if you don't like the black. It's missing the throttle body seal but I can steal the one from the black manifold if anyone prefers a stock looking mani.
I want this bad, just embarrassed I money allocated elsewhere for the next month....
Getting my cable back this week, going with a new tuner (im seeing idling issues and 2-2.5 degrees knock some days, and running rich)
Wifes birthday is next week too...Who knows how much ill get hosed for, and I have got to buy snow tires soon. im keeping an eye on this though! GLWS
