[QUOTE="Tourmax, post: 178151, member: 5304"] Well, I was looking for a corvette lower TPI manifold to hack on and do some porting. Maybe even a polish job. I didn’t want to mess with the oem one on the vette, so I cruised ebay for a while. An aftermarket one like edelbrock or accel would have been a noce starting point, but they are all going for rediculaous prices. Around a grand CAD, and thats for a used one. Hell to the NO! Oem ones were all going around 200-250 CAD. That’s also a stupid price for an obsolete piece of tech. Then I found one they were asking 150 for with a “make an offer” on it. I chucked in 50 bucks and they countered with 85. I wrote then back saying 50 was my top dollar and if that was too low for them I understood and no hard feelings. Comes back as “accepted”. Crap. I just paid 100 CAD for an oem lower intake manifold. Oh well. At least if I mess it up, the orginal one on the vette will still be "unmolested". [/QUOTE]
