Wait wait wait...hold up the phone....
I'm gonna have to fab up custom brackets to make this i/c fit??? That is VERY different from what was said at the beginning of this thread. I thought the whole idea (from the beginning of this thread) is that there was no custom fabbing involved to install this i/c? Folks went on and on and on about how they could get a cheaper i/c custom-made, but the response from Thomasio was always "yes, but will it be a drop-in mod, will it have the right mounting brackets..." etc. From the first post:

Now I'm really confused.
Since the story seems to be changing.... just how much custom fabbing/modding is needed to get this thing to install? I'm not welding or fabbing anything. I wanted plug and play for this price. If I have to start fabbing brackets then I believe I'll be asking for a refund.
Can anyone clarify? Thomasio? (your PM box is still full so I cannot reach you) Or someone else who has installed in an Exige S?

And the i/c had holes in the top of it where the welds weren't finished? You shouldn't have had to seal anything.... now I'm really getting concerned...Why aren't the welds complete????
Hopefully someone can clarify what is happening here. This is not good news.
And PS: that is not an intake manifold. The intake manifold is connected to the motor. The intake manifold has tubes (runners) that bring air into the intake ports. In NA the airbox/tube connects to the intake manifold. In s/c the s/c connects to the intake manifold. That little piece of plastic stuck to the i/c is just ducting.
