Inlet manifold

Hi

just a quick question, is the inlet manifold (and the outlet for that matter) for the k10 made from alloy?

cheers

The inlet is an aluminium alloy and the exhaust is cast iron

ok cheers

i have heard that there is a large restriction on the inlet maifold and was wondering does anyone know what this restriction is? is it the fact that its one carb between 4 pistons or is it a lot more compelx than that?

cheers
