Anyone running the Wilson Billet intake Manifold?

I know pics where posted awhile back, but i believe it was flanged for a rwd dsm rather than an evo as advertised. Just looking to see if anyone has one and if it actually exists as a production part. Im indecisive about an intake manifold and would love to try the wilson one out if it exists...

It exists for sure, just be prepared for the $2500 entrance fee. It is a very nice piece though.

Wilson makes some very high end sheet metal intake manifolds. Expensive, but second to none.

The Wilson Billet intake manifold fits an Evo in the usual motor configuration. It was not designed for a RWD.

You can contact Wilson through 9sec9.com. Tom Powell (9sec9) and his son (OKIX) have one, or maybe two, of the billet manifolds, which will be used on the new setup that they are in the midst of building.

It's probably the most engineered manifold out there for an Evo, but it's price represents the amount of work necessary to make one.

I remember something about the pictures on Titans site being listed as an evolution manifold yet the flange was different ?

I'm not so concerned with the price. I've built plenty of intake manifolds and have had parts machined before. Ive priced it out and would be in the same ballpark having the parts machined myself so figured if i could just buy one it would avoid the headaches

There's one available in stock, according to the listing on the 9sec9.com website description.
