thats a great way to clean up engine bay ,
i think it will hold for N\A engine maybe if you can test it more to confirm rigidity
thanks for your effort and ideas sure appreciate it

Doing some easy math lets say the surface area of the outside of the intake is 18"x6" (just guessing sitting at work), thats 108in^2. Idle vacuum is usually 7psi (50kpa) or so with a daily driver type cam, so thats 108*7=756lb trying to crush the intake.
On hard decel, manifold vacuum drops down to 20-30kpa, so 3.5psi, 180*(14.7-3.5)=1210lb.

curious of manifold temp under boost?

Here's a couple videos with the engine running with this intake on. I'm still learning to tune but Its running decent.
