Mmmm holy crap.....that image and price tag made my mind start spinning up tons of ideas of how to make it work.
We *NEED* (Keyword: NEED) to find out if this application would fit our VQ35 layout. The only issue I could think of is on the rear left of the manifold there are 2 vacuum tubes and the coolant lines on the right wouldn't be an issue because you can bypass them...
I'll shoot them an email and find out what could happen...
That is sick.....good find man I think i'm gonna wait and see how the crawford plenium performs and also the price before i get toooo crazy

I would like to see some dynos as well for a N/A app.
I emailed them, hopefully by Tuesday they will get back to me with some kind of plan or answer. If you look under their "About Us" section it seems that they are okay with listening to the community and taking business ventures such as modifying the manifold for our Altimas hopefully.
you could ask them about it. all I know it's that they have 2 dynos. 1 N/A showing about 15hp gain and the other FI showing a big gain. I believe this is our solution guys. crawford is going to be only the upper plenum. This comes upper and lower. also is polished stainless to give that good look on our engines. whichever give us the best bang for the buck. but this is another solution for that POS plenum we have.
Technically its not a replacement for the upper and lower manifolds in the way that most of us FWD 3.5 owners think of the upper and lower manifold. What they refer to when they say upper and lower are the two halves of their upper plenums. I believe that the lower part of the intake manifold is identical for all 3.5s though. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It sure looks like it would bolt right on an FWD 3.5 though - possibly with a different neck on it.
Or something similar could be easily fabricated for that price.
