Hmmmmmm........
it's not pure magnesium, our manifolds are alloys, maybe a zinc magnesium mixture?

It might just be the angle at which the pics were taken but the manifolds sure look like they sit high. I assume you have measured for hood clearance.

I hope you went with the purpose built staggered design.

Step up and be first.

What do these manifold covers do..? The air is compressed at that point in the intake system - changing diameters won't offer any gains or I'm sure NW would have posted a dyno results by now...

The folks on the MB forums have been tuning and making mods for these engines for years and years before 2005.

I like search their boards to see what can be done...

Any word on the price? I feel like stepping, but need to know how tall the step is.
