Default So f*ckin awesome..

Anyone got a spare $8,000 bucks I can borrow?



This aint an intake manifold...its a plenum atop quad throttle bodies. Intake mani's seem to be the one area of Subaru's that no one has ever really improved on, but it looks like Tomei have come to the party.

More info too:

It has 4 ITB and use a special linkage to correctly use them. The inlet for the intercooler piping goes under the manifold and comes out just to the right (from front view) of the alternator.

Now they just need to make a cheap one that just bolts on normally and has a normal throttle body on it and I will happily fork out $2000 for it.

As far as $8g's go I think MOTEC for $5,000 and $3000 on modifying existing manifold would be wayyyyy better result.

Roller throttle body is much better because at 100% it is zero restriction unlike a blade throttle.
