Those look nice with injectors in the intake ports direction.

Who makes these?  Nice looking manifolds and good placement of the injector bosses for port injection.

But I think they're ok with an aftermarket round dog house shroud. Not with original "thing" shroud.

Looks like a high quality casting.  $320 with fuel rails is reasonable. The base looks a little small if you want to run bigger ports.  Would take quite a bit of welding.

Rick,

scroll down a bit...they offer some manifolds with a larger base that should allow for quite a bit of porting without welding.

Nice parts...and pretty reasonably priced as well.

Being Dutch i can tell you the mentioned language is German  ;D

K-M-S.de is quality stuff, this guy has his 'own'  Porsche Cooling Fans  (custom casting)

Dbilas (known for their camshafts) makes intake manifolds  for Typ1, WBX and Typ4:

hope this helps you!

(If you want to go crazy on a typ4, go straight shot with EFI, no bends from butterfly to inlet valve, its possible!)
