i found this pic a while ago....its on a LHD S2k...i was curious who makes this Ti intake arm

www.gotogarage.co.jp



here is the goto garage intake arm

(this is another members engine bay pic...if u want me to take it down pm me)

 

im sold on that. thats what i need for my mugen

 

That is pretty pimp!!! I wish I knew...I bet it is not that hard to make just get a small piece of titanium pipe and do that in a mandrel bending machine...

 

wow, never seen that one before.

 

I remember that one...That pic is actually a photoshop created by member "bshigeta"...hence, that intake arm doesn't exist...the only intake arm for the Mugen (that I'm aware of, anyway) is the Goto Garage piece you've already mentioned...

Go here and scroll all the way to the bottom: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89608

 

The trick is, is that it is ridiciously difficult to bend titanium. Thats why a lot of tomes espically for large bends the Ti is cut and then welded (which is also very difficult) together to make the bend. That dose however look sweet. There has go to be someone that can fab up one of those.

 

DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!

so the goto garage has the only intake arm out?? www.gotogarage.co.jp

looks tite

 

As ROLLININMYS2000 had mentioned, it is difficult to bend titanium, which is why you rarely see a titanium intake arm for the Mugen, or any of our intakes for that matter. Not to say that it can't be done, as I'm sure with the right amount of money, anything can be done.

IMO, if you want an intake arm so badly, just get the Goto Garage piece, or just have one constructed out of stainless steel (if having titanium isn't so critical). Either way would look cool. Good luck (and be sure to post pics if you go through with it )

 

There is another arm that looks to be stainless but has a Tsuchinko chamber on it. With so many companies adding a resonant chamber to their intakes I'm surprised Mugen hasnt developed one.
