Even if the piping was routed for intake. would it have to be equal length? would it work with 5o1 maf?

eManage isn't enough for the twins in this setup you'd have to run the Haltec (because that's what RPW is used to using to tune, so they'd be able to give you rudimentary tech support). There was a 6 month window in which RPW was selling a twin 55mm kit that retained the MAF but required a new manifold (well, so does this one). It was cost effective, this one, I'm not so sure.
Y-ing off isn't really the same because one of the tubes is getting less air becasue of the distance the air has to travel. Nature is lazy, inherently. If it can get air from a closer source, it will, even if it's getting less air than it would by sucking from both ends evenly.

Whose car is that? Is that the RRM header? Why did they cheap out and get the eBay strut tower brace? Why isn't there a cone filter on each end?

many people who use the itb setup or even a ttb setup just use cvers on the horns or the tubing.nt sure why its a habbit. id use filters in cold air boxs...

not sure what up with teh ebay strut bar. nice header though if i do say so myself.

I had heard most of their (RPW) twin systems would be too extreme for street applications. . .?

^ perhaps the quad, twin should be quite tunable.

How does that solve the problem of a single MAS for two TBs? It looks the same as the first pic so I guess I don't see what you're trying to describe.

The twin TB that I saw that retained the MAS, but needed eManage, had both TBs next to each other on a custom IM. I think the part came from, or was heavily adapted from, a MOPAR part.

Ill post the other pic tonight, its just another intake pipe made to intertwine the other so only one mas is used. This is still a very beneficial setup because it equalizes air distribution throughout the manifold, cylinder 1 isnt rich, and cylinder 4 isnt lean= more hp, more mpg.

Hmmm interesting, use two throttle bodies to go to a one big intake tube...isn't that similar to pontiac's ram air system. Anyway, I really wish someone could post more pics, and information about this. It's unbelievably interesting, at least for me.
