Didn't that thing get stolen once? Maybe it was the Snakeskinner.

That's the Callaway 100+ manifold. It's posssible they will make a few more for Callaway owners. At a very high price.
*89x2* had a post about it over on the action center forum.

Snakeskinner was stolen once, SLedgehammer = too fast to catch (to be stolen

There is a stealth ram available. Does it not fit under the hood?

Chuck, you are indeed correct, it is the elusive 100+ package (w/ manifold) and is highly sought after
Maybe with enough interest, it could be re-made... It was hand crafted and took a few days to fabricate in its entirety
If you own an L98 and think this is something you would seriously consider, please drop me an e mail or PM staing just that.
Price for the 100+ option back in 88/89 was $11,000 and the manifold was just one part of that - expect current costs for JUST the manifold (if made again) to be a few grand - still serious, CONTACT ME!

Really, was that available on other Callaway cars? I don't think I have ever seen another one.
EDIT: Thanks 89*2, lookslike we were typing at the same time...

...it was an $11k option on top of the 56k-106k (depending upon year and model) for the base B2K - there are only a handful, literally
I hope this helps - *89x2*

How does the runner length compare to the Miniram/LT1 style manifolds? What kind of HP did this option give over the standard TT?
Thanks

...the intake was part of a "package", hence the name 100+, as it gave 100 addl. hp and lots more torque too
p.s. longer than a mini-ram

Just goes to show how restrictive the L98 type manifolds were.
