RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
So im working on this thing right now... and its really starting to look like a mailbox. Hah. Anyways also these will be powdercoated as well. Common color is black, but we will custom powdercoat them as well for $10 extra.
Pics of inside the plenum where the runners come in?
Welded on the inside as well.... and as you can see a vehicle can comfortably park in the collector.
very nice. almost want to go turbocharged now.
not. i love my s/c.
haha. good work. some people should def jump on this for xmas.

my carDomain updated 8/2/08 Boosted at B-day!
The collector on this baby is 307cubic inches, and each runner has a 1-3/4 inside diameter! this thing can move some serious air.
Naaaa, and the price is pretty low as it is. If anyone requests it would be no problem to make it a little smaller.
personally... i think actual the welding where the horns are is a little tacky (not the weld but having a weld there itself) but it does look awesome. good job AGAIN vulcan!

no bueno for the N/A guys, but would be good for the boosted guys.

Having the welds on the inside helps create a smoother transition, otherwise its kinda a rough edge.
price is posted at $550 + shipping.
that's a deal
any idea what price would be with ls1 T/B?
or would we have to find that on our own?
Sorry we dont supply the throttle body. Ebay would probably be the best bet, it appears they have a few on there for about $50-$100
Just make sure when ordering one you get the cable driven not electronic.
needs longer runners , and the runners need horns on the end , to aid airflow into the runner
Looks Very Nice Keeping an eye on this thread.
I'd definately get on this but thatd be too big to use with my saab setup lol, would it be the same price getting a smaller one made? Also any way u can flip the throttle body over to the passenger side? My charge pipe runs. To the passenger side, shouldn't be too hard to flip it the other way around wouldn't it?
same price for a smaller collector. Could put the throttle body anywhere, not sure how well that would fit tho.
