This first run it pretty limited, but we should have more to go in less than 2 weeks.

I call dibbs on one from first batch for speed6!!

i'll get this once TMIC is compatible

Finished product looks fantastic guys! Another great part from DM! Now for that FMM :)

Y'all need to invest in some front mounts.

I'm sure it's possible to run with a TMIC, but given the position of the ST's TB, it would take a long and pretty convoluted (read 180º) piece of hard pipe or silicone to meet up with the TB from the TMIC.

While I'd like to run the ST mani as well, I think that if I go that route, it's going to mean switching to a FMIC to make life a little more straightforward. That said, I'm thinking about FMIC pipe routing for a vertical-flow intercooler, something like this: http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...02z06/FMIC.jpg

Given the location of the TB, it might work pretty well.

Just like you said, using a 180º bend would put the piping relatively in the same position that the cold pipe currently sits. I think the issue is not piping. Rather, it's the mounting bolt that's on the stock IM.

The radiator would still be in the way, no? You'd have to go around that.

The mounting bolt(s) wouldn't necessarily be a big deal, I don't think. I doubt it'd take much time to fab up a mounting bracket that stretches across the top of the manifold and has a couple of bolts/studs sticking up from it.


You are correct sir. I haven't had my coffee yet.

Hahahaha no worries. It's 10:45 on the east coast. I'm on like cup #3 . I agree, the mounting probably wouldn't take much engineering. I trust the guys at DM are woking on it though, they'll fab up something with top-notch quality!! (he said with high hopes of being a test subject....)

In for working with my tmic. New manifolds, retune and I'm done on stock block setup.

I am in if the TMIC can work as well. the 100 degree heat in SoCal means I wont be blocking my radiator anytime soon. But props go out to Matt for thinking outside the box and giving us more options for the platform.

So OEM gasket is used to seal the adapter flange to the head I assume. Or is there an o-ring channel grove where ST IM o-rings are used?
Just looked at the machining in the 3rd pic. Assuming that OEM gasket is used, are people cutting centers of gasket out where it would sit in front of the split?
Awesome product. I want one but cant justify spending $300 now, but I already have an ST mani so hopefully some day will get one.

I assume I can figure out cold pipe routing and hopefully fitting Synapse and routing recerc tube wont be too hard.
