    TWM is a good manifold, almost all tuners in holland in the autocross run them, on ITB and carbs. JMR inlet manifold is designed to be the least flow restricted, so maybe even better!

    I'm sure Mr Hillclimber would sort you out with a proven product, tested on his trusty flow bench.

    Just so you have other options, I've heard good things about Rowland manifolds too, but you'll probably have to import them from South Africa.

    JMR fitted on mine, noticeable difference over previous short runner cast manifold, highly recommended :)

    bike carbs have individual vacuum tappings per runner. always liked that. makes balancing a breeze, if you have a quad bike carb balancing setup
    just a thought

    Might I be so bold as to hijack this and ask what manifold this is? I was planning to use it for my abf on twin webers, but it needs a bit of fiddling with first as the allen bolts don't quite fit when you're doing them up. I need to grind some material out for a bit more clearance around a few of the holes. Should I ebay this one and get one from mr hillclimber is the next question...

    Still don't know if it works properly, but impossible to be cheaper.;)

    Angle doesn't look as drastic as some of the cheaper mangolesti manifolds, but cracking work all the same. Crackle black always looks great, copper trumpets are lovely too. Are they also homemade?
