I cut up my VH manifolds a while ago as i'm reusing the flanges to make the extractors, thought I'd finally get off my arse and post up the piccies :D

Looking down the main section at where one of the runners comes in



Looking down one of the runners (7 or 8, can't remember)



If that doesn't make you want to make your own manifolds nothing will

Agreed, that's pathetic. Glad the rest of the engine's not built that way. Guess that's what happens when you take racing technology and package it for mass production.

WOW, that is absolute utter garbage.

Hope you wore a respirator taking all that asbestos off under those shields.
