It looks awesome. However I really dont think it is going to perform awesome.
The plenum is just far too small. It may not hurt a boost application as much as n/a though
Clearly it has been designed with space and looks in mind, rather than performance.
And again as nice as that Y piece is at the front, n/a it would not be good at all.

It says 9 litre total volume ? I assume that's 4.5 litres each.
Which isnt as bad as it looks ! Might not be so bad after all, apart from that Y piece at the front.
It really does look superb though. But for the amount it would cost, looking good just isnt enough ! It should really be able to see huge gains

You have each bank trying to draw air from a restricted opening, with another directly beside it doing the same. They've just done it so they can retain a single DBW throttle. Ideally there would be two TB's with a nice opening for each to breathe from. With boost it probably wont make a huge difference. N/a though that Y piece would be terrible.

I'd have thought they'd have flow benched it? I'll have to ask them. There could be a loss of low to mid torque with such short runners on that intake, but great for high revving, high horsepower stuff. (If the air gets by the Y ok) As for siamesed ports on an A -series head. I'm sure I saw that video (might've been the A-team one though)
