Re: BBK TPI INTAKE

Why? Without the base they are useless unless you plan on fabricating a base.

Re: BBK TPI INTAKE

Summit doesnt have it, people have been waiting a long time for it and still waiting.

The base is completely different than the factory TPI base. They are not interchangeable. The BBK uses a o-ringed runner that is not bolted onto the base and is held in place by the plenum. So even if you could buy just the runners and plenum, you couldnt do anything else with them without using their base or doing a whole lot of welding and machine work.

Re: BBK TPI INTAKE

Yeah, they list it but doesnt mean they have it. Not sure why they even have it up yet. I dont think BBK is ever gonna issue this.

If you have vortec stuff, just get runners and port your plenum
