it was a mess when i did it tbh, it needed stripping and painting properly, all i did was scratched the loose powdercoat off, and sprayed it with barbecue paint

proper job

looks loads better now, better than brand new.

the lexmaul inlet flows more air than the standard one, and the airflow is less restricted because of the internal design of the manifold.

Rob won't have the plastic trunking anyway, so it will work just as well as a Mantzel, but with more torque.

Rob, go to your local Hydraulic piping place. They will have the correct fittings.

Can't be arsed to read the thread, but with the dbilas you don't move the throttle body, so how does this shorten the inlet route? Because the air still has to come back on itself, unlike the Mantzel/Velos.
