I want to replace the stock intake manifold from the plastic one to a more performance one I just am afraid of it cracking or something ? ! or if some one can give me some leads
Well it is not going to crack. Not many out there to get.

do you know who makes them ?
p.s. its for a 2004 ecotec
Venom makes one. Its like $1100
only ecotec manifolds ive seen are from GM and venom...both are over $1000.00. you have to run HUGE amounts of boost before you will break an eco manifold. GM says it flows well enough for 500 hp under boost...so just figure how many psi youd need to run to make 500 hp...you wont run that knda boost on anything but a dedicated drag motor anyways. if you want more performance...port the manifold...there are a couple threads on the subject.

The stock IM flows well, but it can flow better. The gm one is a log style that works good with turbo applications. The venom is good for an n/a motor.
if you get a new one, i'd be more than happy to take your old stock one off your hands.

I did not realize you were a ecotec. The stock manifold can hold 18psi easily, so I would not worry about replacing it. Maybe porting it.

i dont think the picture it shows is the actual one you're going to get. look up one for a honda or anything else, it shows the same picture.

450WHP Turbo Ecotec swap in the works...
I wonder which one it is though. The best price i heard was like $1060 for the venom manifold (for the ecotec). I doubt this site would sell it for $400 less. That is about the price for the 2.4's IM though.
I'm pretty sure just the one on the left....there was a post back in November on it or something...plus check out the TB position on both...don't think the one on the right would work..
Correct me if I'm wrong though.
There are IMs made for the ecotec like the one on the right. You have the move the TB though. The only one that venom makes for the ecotec is the one on the left. I called them about it a week ago and they only had that one style.
The one on the left looks like the one for my 2.4
