The first dual plane, 180??. The first Weiand product, the ""High Weiand"" manifold was manufactured and marketed in 1937. It was the first aluminum intake on the market. Part #: 8121. "X-CELerator"", a series of performance single plane intakes was developed in 1974.
This intake is worth the price, probably worth 2x the price. I had a Speedmaster knockoff of this and the Edelbrock Performer styles, speedmaster was total garbage. This intake alone took my ~275 HP dyno checked car with the speedmaster that could not even burn rubber off the line to being able to scorch the tires off the line for a good ways. NO other changes other than intake. I did not dyno check it again after since my problem was solved, but I am guessing it added 25-50hp, either way as to the actual numbers, impressive performance over knock off the engine builder used on the build.
