Driven Innovations NEW designed manifold for 2012
Tom and I go way back. he has become a great friend over the years and is always available to chat with me. I have used his products before and have had great success with them. I had manifolds flanged from stock TB to a few 3 inch TB's and every time i needed help he took care of me. Tom called me a few months ago to tell me about a newly designed manifold he wanted me to have. I stopped by his shop and he showed me some pretty cool stuff he has been working on and of course this new manifold. At the time it was all in pieces and needed to be built but i got to see each piece and i must say he is incredibly smart. The CNC machine is simply awesome. i wish i could sit inside that thing and watch it make magic HAHA. Anyways a few weeks ago i sold off my ''old style'' DI manifold to a really great guy. I expect he will love it as did i. this manifold tom did for me is the new version but with a few extra things for me to help with my new wiring and plans to keep the engine bay looking clean with vacuum lines and stuff.
some of the changes made to the 2012 DI manifold are the newly designed CNC machined runners and a slightly different design inside the plenum on each runner ''called stacks i believe''. Also there is no plate welded to the manifold for tapping your fittings. Now Tom welds on bungs for a much cleaner look. Also the head flange is a good bit thicker then the older versions. Also notice how there is a CNC'ed built in MAP sensor up front. ''yes mine has one on the rear too but thats because i asked him to'' all other order manifolds will have only the CNC'ed spot for the Map sensor.
here are some pics. i am sorry its not a HD camera but i did my best to show off this work of art. Thanks so much Tom.

Cool to see he added fitting for the stock and omni MAP sensors. I had to cut and weld in 1 from a stock IM. If any of your guys are interested I have mine for sale in the FORSALE section
