INTAKE MANIFOLDS, GASKETS AND COMPONENTS

The wide range of Chevrolet Performance intake manifolds are cast-iron and aluminum for carbureted and fuel injected applications. These intake manifolds were designed specifically for GM engines so you know they will deliver optimum performance. Due to the profile of some Chevrolet Performance high-rise intake manifolds, hood clearance should be carefully checked before ordering an intake manifold.
