just like title says. Ideas and thoughts on composite intake manifold. For intake runners use the carbon sock over a foam plug? Or do a 2 piece mold and lay carbon in conventionally.
Next is how to bond to aluminum hrad flanges? Do you create a flange and sandwich them with epoxy between 2 aluminum pieces mechanically fastened together?

Its for a subaru engine and it will be turbocharged and intercooled but shat epoxy to withstand the temperatures.

The stock manifold is just way too heavy. Way too tall. Ive seen others do simple mild stedl and it works , same with fabricated aluminum. But seems a composite manifold can be made and work. Just which way to aproach it.
