I am in the market for a single plane intake. During my research I keep seeing the Porfessional Products manifolds and am curious if any one has run one, more specifically run one back to back against a "very similar" design from a reputable company on a motor or flow bench, dyno etc.
I know you get what you pay for and I've paid enough so I thought maybe I can get by with a different approach this time. Let me know your experiences and perhaps we can discuss the details.

Just seems as though they are really close. I called the company and they said "well you know there are only so many ways to make a single plane intake..."
I asked if they did a 3D scan and re-engineer the parts and their answer was "no" So with all the aviable info and choices, what is a guy to do??
