I don't think anybody in here necessarily NEEDS this, but it sure looks pretty!

ONLY $2000 AUS! If you're going full aluminum headed racecar bananas, why not?

It's funny that they call it the high "mang"

I learned last year that they call these engines "mang mangs" because of they way they sound when they hit the limiter :LOL:

I'd love to have one of those but that's over twice what I'd want to pay for a good intake
Yep. I learned from an Australian that "mang" is actually shortened from "moo mang" which is even better IMO :LOL:

I agree. Super cool if you're going for 3800 world records, but that's about it.

Realistic timeline

-Some flat brim with a rusty GTP gets a big tax return
-Blows tax return on a hi-mang
-Posts a sweet unboxing video on youtube and 3800performance because they got one first
-Hides hi-mang in their trailer's spare bedroom
-Blows a transmission because 3.4 pulley, stock everything else, and takeovers
-Talks mad shit about 3800s being weak even though it's still running fine
-Scraps car
-Posts hi-mang on marketplace for $8000
-Get's laughed at
-Disappears for 5+ years
-Hi-mang secretly gets sold to a 3800 hoarder for pennies and never gets installed in a car

Just like all the intense short blocks and zzp aluminum heads.

That's the 3800 lifestyle. Buy it, take pics, put it in storage and wait.

For example, I bought this in probably winter of 2009. It's still in the same box.

I used to have dreams of installing one of those on my red block because I wanted it to be "all volvo". I don't think it would ever spool even with a ported 16V head. lol
