Summit Racing Intake manifolds...?
Who's product are they re-branding?

My guess is nobody's, as the only prominent intake manufacturers out there before were Edelbrock (or Elderbrock, depending on which side of the Mason-Dixon line you hail from), Weiand, and Holley. They probably just got some cheap foundry in Mexico (or China) to do the castings. I noticed their prices are about 30-40% less than the name-brand equivalents though......

Some of their products are cheaper than the 'name brand' and a few are actually more expensive... I don't mean to say Summit is a 'no name brand'. I've never heard anything bad about their stuff.

I just happen to see them in the New Summit catalog - so it made me wonder if they where "Export" or American units....
How they actually perform maybe a totally different story.....

They are made by an American company. Starts with a *W*.

Their stuff is good, usually just rebranded from other manufacturers and cheaper too
