Default 3D print an intake manifold

I'd stay naturally aspirated, but this definitely opens up the door!

Ive always thought that someone needs to come up with a composite, lightweight, non heat soaking intake manifold that is compatible with c4 corvettes

Looked into that yrs ago and was cost prohibitive.
To make it really worth it should be 50 state legal that gets REAL real expensive nobody would pay for them
Some knockoff would come from overseas then you tank lol

3D printers are cost effective until your reach high enough #'s to pay for tooling.

As far as one's that are available now, you need to stick an elbow on it, but AFR sells one.
