After a day of research on the topic I am seriously considering making a
Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold for sale to the public. I do not have much
experience with composite construction so I would need some practice and
R&D time. I will be very busy the next 3 weeks with school and finals
but after that I hope to do some R&D on a CF manifold.

What do you think the market size is for a complete tuned manifold?
Anyone who would be interested in purchasing one in the next 2 years
pleases e-mail me and include the engine date and number of ports. NO
obligation to buy. I would like to get an idea of the current demand.

I would be interested... I also work at a large German / American automaker and
there is a challenge concerning the polymer used... to bind the matrix. It needs
to withstand the oxidizing heat created briefly during a back fire.
