Yea, I suppose if you want to pay for it then yea, wow, unusual.
I'd rather save my cash and go with the Stealth Ram or Super Ram. Both every bit as good if not better than the overrated T-ram... and if you need parts they are much easier to get. Try buying an end tank gasket for a T-ram.

If the T Ram was soooo good, why dont they still make it? I know about the SLP fire and all, but no one ever tried to reproduce it? Like madmax said, save some cash, and try one of the up to date intakes out there.

that is a good point that no 1 has remade it or kept it going but isnt the accel super ram box and all that basically the same thing short dumps into the heads and smooth free flow?
The accel superam is very different. - The "T-ram" was a decent intake, but nothing compared to the HSR/Superam, especially when comparing dollar for dollar. - If you want power and "wow" look into the FIRST intake.

Kinda like a TPI on stereoids. It's actually smaller, but the runner tubes are much fatter(bigger). - I guess it woudn't have the "wow" of the T-ram, but it'd make more power and be impressive to those who know TPi...

of course it looks outdated!sign of the times that was 16 years ago,i was never a firm believer of the T-RAM but it looked sooo intimidating especially to pesky mustang owners but it worked as good as the superram and mini ram waaaaaayyyyy better than the TPI

At one time, the T-Ram was pretty good performance wise, and pretty cool appearance wise.
Now, IMHO, it looks like someone didn't know better, and paid a buttload of money for an outdated intake.
Again, just my opinion. Cool points wise, NOTHING ever made looks as cool as a stock TPI. Performance wise, well, take your pic....but the T-Ram doesn't do either in my opinion.
.....but to answer the question, no one ever reproduced it. It would be a GREAT mod if they were easy to come by, similiar to say, a BW 9 bolt upgrade, but they're just SO rare that they're way too expensive.

very nice intake, but it's a pain in the *** if you need to pull a valve cover or adjust your rockers, since you have to pull the side tanks off.
this is on my friends 90 Formula 350

Yes.... I'm busting your ***** and forcing you into a corner, because I'm getting tired of reading your sales pitches on the FIRST intake. Are you getting paid by them because if not, you should start trying to push that issue a little more since you do all of the advertising work already.
bust away!
no, I'm not getting paid, I don't even have one, I just do my research. IMO it's a great intake for a street car. Great power capabilities w/o sacrificing any driveability. Plus it looks swwweeeetttttt(much like the stock TPI). - hard to beat. but as I have always said, that's my opinion, it's up to you to do a search and do your research. In the end, you have to be the one to decide what you want out of it and how you're gonna drive it. I was putting the FIRST on the level of the HSR and the Superam, just adding the "wow" factor to it. I guess I should word things more carefully
...anybody know a good lawyer to write me up a good disclaimer???

Shagwell - I have owned a FIRST, we'll talk in PM because I think you are misinformed about its power capabilities. It's still a limited LTR design.
