thanks for all of your comments.

In the past few days, I have been contemplating on a reversed intake manifold gt35r kit, it seems the large 4" intake and going rotated is very attractive, so maybe the SZ49 gotta go I'm all ears if you guys have any input on this.

P.S. I blame all of this on Modaddict, such a bad influence...tsk tsk

What are you going to do about the drive-by-wire system when reversing the manifold?

what do you mean? All the wires reach so there isn't a problem, unless I'm not understanding the question

^^^There is a clearance issue between the DBW servo and the alternator I believe.

the alternator must be lowered and a new belt is a must

the biggest issue will be how the intercooler piping(off the throttle body) clears the hood properly

EDIT: this is also going to be a blow through setup

if you dont mind, how much were the volks? I was looking at a set in the same size/offset for my '04 but saw the work emotion groupbuy on nasioc, not sure how good of a deal that is. PM me if you dont want the $$$$ to be public, I can understand that.

Volks did cost quite a bit and they came with those sexy Advan A048 tires monted

Listen to The_Clap and Munky, buy a set of Work Emotions plus a spare, they are excellent buy for the money.
