VTT Fab Factory N54 Forward Facing Intake Manifold

THE FAB FACTORY MANIFOLD IS BACK at VTT!

 As most of you with a few years on this platform remember, Fab Factory made what was the most popular N54 intake manifold to date. Extremely beautiful, well designed, and backed up by results from our shop car, and others. The problem was FF ended up closing its doors due to some problems between partners.

 We kept in touch with Shawn over the years and bounced around the idea of bringing the manifold back to life, but nothing ever came of it. Finally, about 6 months ago I ran the idea of simply buying the rights from Shawn directly, and taking over production of the manifold as a VTT product. He liked the idea, we agreed on a price, and all the drawings were transferred to VTT.

 We worked very hard with our CNC manufacturer, sent them the full set of drawings as well as the extra manifold we have so they could begin doing a 100% faithful recreation of what FF had developed a few years back.

 Some product details

• Full billet production using aircraft 6061-T6, then tig welded, and anodized for good looks, and resistance to corrosion
• Two -10ORB ports on the bottom, which allow you to run any of our -10ORB fittings from modular setups for PCV, vacuum needs
• Three 1/8”-27NPT ports to the top on production manifolds for easy access to manifold vacuum, and boost reference

 Our goal was not only to recreate this fan favorite but also to make it more accessible by offering it at a lower price. The manifold will come in 3 colors standard clear anodize, black anodize, and red anodize. Custom anodize available for $350 + 30-45-day lead time.

Compared to the other manifold on the market

• Roughcast, no internal velocity stacks
• Limited vacuum options, have to drill/tap for large fittings
• Fuel rail under manifold for poor injection angle, difficult to work on
• $1500 no injectors, no additional parts at all +$300 over VTT/FF
• $2000 with injectors +$200 over VTT/FF
• $2350 with injectors, and charge pipe (no harnesses) +$550 over VTT/FF

FITMENT: We have tested this manifold on all E8X/E9X RWD vehicles and there are NO fitment issues. We have heard XI fitment reports regarding hood clearance, yet others have reported XI fitment with no issues. We CAN NOT guarantee this will fit an XI vehicle.  If you order this for an XI vehicle and try to install it and it does not fit, we CAN NOT accept a return on parts that have been attempted to be installed, as the items will no longer be in new condition.  PLEASE ORDER CAREFULLY if you have an XI model vehicle.
