These seem to be very popular right now. You can buy them from several different places. Summit Racing, Symbol Performance and Paradise Road just to name a few.

Symbol Performance makes their own manifolds and they claim they are made in the US. The ones you can buy through Summit Racing are from Granatelli Motorsports.

Here are a few links which include where you can buy, someone who actually has one a 1969 camaro which is currently for sale for 105k, and dyno tests conducted buy Hot Rod Magazine. All the info you need to make an informed decision before you buy.

You can look at my build thread below or my car that is listed on here to see that intake,It does work well on mine but I am not racing it,I would not recommend using any turbo or any kind of boost on them,they are very nice for the money but for all out performance I am not sure.

They look good but you lose low end power big time. They don't start coming in til almost 5500 rpm. In fact they've been referred to as Turkeys by reputable LS builder Tom Nelson.

You can buy them for under 500 with fuel rails.

I saw a video of one online that the whole top would flex when the car was revved and that was on a naturally aspirated setup. That was enough to change my mind on them.

I bought one just to look at. May use it on a car, but will never promote or advertise availability because I am not a fan of knock off products, even if I can make money on it. There are a couple other manufacturers making direct knock offs as well we occasionally buy from (won't mention names), and I won't sell those knock offs either.
