Last I herd you cannot send them your manifold, they sell you a new CNC ported manifold. If i have herd correctly Whitfield sells the same thing for less.

I recently bought one. I got it in about 10 days (mine had to go through customs as I live in Canada).
You get a brand-new manifold for B-series (no core exchange).
Here are some pictures of the IM as I received it right out of the box:

I'm still breaking in my 2.0L build up - but I am expecting big gains.

For $160 you can get a Blox too, but the IB manifold will be better than all of them. The Victor X will make more above 8,500-big deal. The design work that went into this CNC program is very good and it shows on the dyno and at the track.

IB is doing an LS intake manifold for me. My hope is that it will. Only the dyno knows for sure.

He was not banned for being shady. He was banned for being politically incorrect. Some of his statements were pretty inflammatory, so you can't really blame H-T for banning him.
As far as nobody running his stuff at the track, you must not know much. Many people run his stuff at the track. Has anyone ever heard of Jerrybuilt? Many of the guys are running his K motor stuff as well. My personal street car ran a 12.6 at Pomona weighing in at 2,600 lbs. on pump gas. That car has lots of IB stuff in it.
Endyn does not do IB manifolds, that was a joke.
Jeff has made many enemies, but this slanderous crap is undeserved. Spreading vicious lies and unsubstantiated rumors about the guy as fact is chicken ****.
