thats so true....Not to mention that most of the products that"american products company" makes are "made" in indonesia at a fraction of thier sell value in the states.* carbonfiber is light, and that is good.* The problems with these carbonfiber intake manifolds are that because they are made of thin, layered carbonfiber sheets, heat penetrates the casing and ambient internal temperature rises.* Don't get me wrong, that is a fine looking manifold...I'd buy it, but not for function.* It may be twice as strong as steel, but not as refractive.

Heat Absorption - Inch for inch, aluminum has 48% more heat storage capacity than carbon fiber composites. A stock manifold absorbs power-robbing heat and then unloads it into your intake charge when you accelerate. Our carbon fiber intake effectively absorbs 87% less heat than the stock manifold.
