Default Would anyone buy a upper plumm

Morning,
I am Mitchell Ames, and the owner of Hot Toyz Kustomz. We are switching gear and starting to build performane part for the Mitsubishi. We want to build a new upper plumm for the lancer evo. Does anyone think it is worth the effort, or the stock is good enough for everyone. This not spam, and I am not asking anyone to buy anything or come to my shop. Just want some feed back.

the entire intake manifold? Design makes the difference there are a few brands out there already. high HP evos get them but most people get AMS kit

Yes, the entire manifold. We just got a new dyno so we starting to play with the idea of building parts. I know there are few parts all raedy out there, but we think we can do it better. If not better, then at least the same numbers and a cleaner look. But we want some feed back what everyone like and dont like. You know, a bunch of redneck from up state might not be the best judge of what the whole World wants

I been looking in this site, and it looks like EMonz57 is the one to know. It is good to meet you.
We are working on a design and seeing what numbers we get on the flow bench & dyno. I am not sure if we can do any better the other systems out there. We will have keep R&D until we get the right numbers on the dyno and the track.
Is there anything that anyone is looking for this part.

Power and airflow. if it is no less restrictive than stock no one will buy it. Obviously the price for some will make a difference keep in mind alot of us who buy a $30k+ car have car payments and the wallets dont hold cash as well

It will be better than stock and around the same price as everyone else. It will polish for looks. We are not sure if we will use stainless steel or aluminum. Like I said we are designing now so it will be a seconds or two before we have any numbers.
I have a friend in the tranny business. I could ask him to work on it. Might need a car for some R&D. Is anyone up to it.
