those are actually Paul's DDS manifolds, which happen to be for sale ;) Check with him if you're interested.

Edit: Oops, didn't see Paul's response.

I knew about his, but I figured if I spend that much I might as well buy a set of brand new Berg's and spend less. A set of those DDS came up for sale on the samba Nov 8th for cheap that i have been eyeing, just not sure if they are ported to much to use on my heads.


Can you close your decklid with those shorty's?

I think so, that was my point for paying big bucks for the Bergs I got. they are actually even a little shorter than the DDS's. The Bergs wouldnt clear the cylinder tins, so I just used to DDS to get an idea of what it will look like. I'll let you know when I try it with the Bergs.

This is the set I am thinking of getting. Which set did you get?

I figure I could grind off the extra mounting tabs.

that's what I have. pretty expensive for intake manifolds, but if you want shorties you choices are those, CSP's, or used ones.

Yep. I saw CSP's they are insanely priced. which way are you thinking of mounting yours? are you gonna grind the extra tabs off as well. I wonder if they are gonna look goofy left alone.

most likely the "regular" way IDAs are mounted, like in the picture I took. I'll see how obnoxious the extra tabs are when I mock everything up.
yeah, CSP's are even more stupid expensive than the Bergs. :roll:
