The absolute cheapest Intake Manifold I could find online, want some thoughts on it if anyone has tried or even seen it before.

i asked Burger and they confirmed it phoenix, tey have a ton og other Phoenix stuff on their website as well. Phoenix has 3 types, CNC, Cast and half CNC, half cast,, so I'm not sure which one Butger is selling.
It might be made by Phoenix, but it's not listed on the Phoenix website anywhere.

Phoenix has more than 3 types, I listed them above in my post, you can see it on their website.

For clarity sake since this thread has anything but... it seems you are using the $1800 alibaba manifold that Fuel-it/Burger/KingTec sells, which is nothing like the $900 manifold the OP created this thread about. Yet you claimed you are using the same thing.

I truly don't understand why posting actual clear things is hard for a lot of people on this website. It creates so much noise and confusion.

This thread has shown me the people who think they know stuff actually don’t, vs people who just don’t know what they are posting. Without actual pressure drop differences from one side of the intake to the other, everyone is just guessing that it sucks. Chances are, in that aspect of things, it’s just fine with that lump built in. Everything else about it might suck though.
You're right, I’ll concede I went overboard with the dramatic warnings for theater. Can’t prove the pressure delta, turbulence, or flow separation.............. but I’d still argue that plenum geometry isn’t something I’d call irrelevant

So, to finish this lovely afternoon finale hour, lol, of the “cheaper” versions that appear decent versus the more expensive counterparts, which manifold do we recommend for mainly drag versus recommend for circuit at this point giving value to dollar. @razorlab @omfgzilla

I'll settle this once and for all........ so we can send this thread past the event horizon and on its way to page 50

This changes everything! So I've emailed Wagner's official marketing team 2 weeks ago, and they were very responsive and replied with the following

"Vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage. Dieses Produkt wird in 2 Wochen erhältlich sein."
I can't read German, but this sounds promising and I'm super excited.

That was five years ago. Not happening.
