Do you know if anyone makes a better intake manifold for the MC, and if so who?

 

How about something like this (I know I've seen better pictures, but can only
find this one right now).

 

That loks wicked but isn't it with individual throttle bodies? I was actually searching for something on the style of the OEM piece but better designed and possibly a bit larger to allow more air into the engine, without going to the ITBs.

Thanks Johnny, that looks a bit more like what I'm searching for. That car is an S though, would that intake manifold fit a Non-S Cooper?

 

It can be made with the plenum above or below the runners just give him a call...

 

i am thinking about porting and coating std item...

 

I think porting the standard item is not possible, because it is plastic.

 

Those long runners & plenum on the OEM intake are probably helping the low-mid range power. I could see short runners on a high revving N/A race engine.
Coating to reduce temps sounds interesting. Do the plastic runners get hot enough to effect the incoming air density?

 

ummm cooper sport sells a mini madness intake manifold. Here is the link

 

Thanks laggy, that one seems for the S though.
