anybody using the aluminum intake manifolds?
so I notice that companies are finally coming out with reasonable priced aluminum intake manifolds to replace those crappy plastic stock ones that like to leak. I know trick flow, professional products, and edelbrock all make them plus I'm sure there are a few others.
has anyone replaced the plastic intake for an aluminum one?
did you notice any difference in performance?
was it worth the $$$?
could you include pics?

I had tried the Typhoon.
First, It leaked water from the fitting where the heater core attaches, so it needed to be welded.
Secondly, the car ran awful because I assume the manifold leaks air as well.
I put a regular PI on and now the car runs great.
BTW, I have a Typhoon for sale... cheap!

I want an Edelbrock intake manifold!!! I think if i have the money over the winter i might do the intake manifold with 24lb injectors, EB fuel rails, new tb/plenum combo and 90mm maf. NOICE!!!

They might be pointless for right this second but cams are planned for within the next year so i dont think that they are pointless for what im gonna do. And then maybe heads after that so if i happen to do trickflows, i wont have to worry about the bottleneck of the stock manifold because ive heard that the pi manifold is the bottleneck with the tf heads.

is this the edelbrock intake manifold you are using? and is it a direct bolt-on replacement for the PI manifold?
