Carbon fiber intake tube.
 
I need another carbon fiber piece to compliment the valve covers. I was thinking the intake tube would be a good idea. Does anyone know where I can have one made?

Classic Chevy 5 speeds 2nd gen camaro had one but the article didn't have information on the mfg.

As always, thanks.

Rich

Hi Rich,

You may want to call Turn-Key Engine Supply. I know that is where Jeff got his LS from. Here is link http://www.turnkeyenginesupply.com/, I dunno if they sell parts only but I would call and ask for Kolby.

i saw an article online a few weeks back, and i simply cannot find it now.. but it was a guy who had made all kinds of cool stuff in CF, split intake tube for a TT-supra in CF, and a timetrial bicycle.. and what he did was make the part in polystyrene and covered it in carbonfibre/epoxy.. when it cured he poured thinner into it dissolving the polystyrene... and voila! a hollow CF part with no expensive mould

Try Rhys Sanderson www.carbonguy.com He did all the CF work on our car. Awesome job!:thumbsup:
