Default Reverse Intake Manifold

Has anyone made a reverse intake manifold for the AU yet?

i am probably wrong, but i'd say it's an intake with the tube pointing the other way? instead of going over the engine, it goes the other way.

Default reverse manifold

Intake manifold on 5.0 litre is reversible, the upper plenum I mean. Bolt spacings & ports line up left or right. Use phenolic spacer to insulate upper manifold, helps keep upper plenum cool.

Does anyone make one for the 6 cyl?

BTW, yeah - bassically, it's where instead of the airintake facing the right side of the car, it faces the left side of the car which would be more easier for mods and some turbo cars, etc..

Someone on here has done it - I saw it in another thread - they just cut the throttle body area out of the middle of the upper manifold, turned it around and welded it back on from memory. I'll let you know if I dig it up.
