You might want to re-weigh the flat-top yossi. I literally weighed the two halves of the manifold on a kitchen scale half an hour ago. No other stuff connected to the manifold which might make a small difference (EGR valve etc), but it seemed to me that that would be most relevant comparison.

From this shot it looks like a custom brace mounted to the two side bolts on runner #1 could work (maybe even use the other one on the front too?
My first mod though would be to grind off the branding "mount" - it ruins the "organic look" of the manifold and adds lightness.

I predict it will outperform the squaretop. worst part of the flat top is the turn in behind the throttle body - which is still far better than the 99 intake, which is horrendous in that area. The skunk is wide open behind the throttle body.

I want to see what happens after someone ports one of these.

Here's a profile of the flat-top:
Note how the TB sits quite low and there's a narrow channel leading up diagonally to the top half of the manifold.
Here's a front-on view of my ported flat-top:
That channel in the manifold is not as wide as the Skunk2 TB so air is being compressed AND flow redirected.

I want one of these things. Glad y'all are snapping them up so I can see if they're worth it :P

Bought one, who knows when it'll be here... I have a F.M. kit with a GT2560 running MS2. Not sure when it'll all be installed but if I can get a before and after dyno, I will post it up.

Haven't seen anyone else dyno test it yet... sounds like marketing fluff though.
"Dyno proven, these will make 10+ HP on NA builds and even more on super charged / turbo charged applications. For even better results, pair with the Skunk2 Alpha series throttle body."

Conjecture, rhetoric and hype have always sold more stuff to the American public then science and comparative analysis.
