How many millions of dollars did Mazda spend to design these intakes to optimize the powerband? I don't think a little JB and welding will do anything worthwhile to improve it but untill it's properly tested, no one knows.

Oh, JB weld sucks.

"We" don't have to decide. Since the manifold is on MY car. I'm not trying to prove anything, just posting pics to give people ideas on doing some low buck improvements. I'm not going to spend money on dyno's every time i post pics of work i have done to prove its worth. I feel the difference in my car, and see the difference at the track. Thats good enough for ME.

And btw, top race teams use JB Weld at the track to enhance the manifolds lap after lap for test and tuning. I don't know why you would think JB Weld sucks. I love it...
