{"product_id":"t5-performance-inlet-manifold","title":"T5 Performance Inlet Manifold","description":"The ELEVATE Volvo C30 T5 Performance Inlet Manifold is engineered to maximize power and torque for the T5 engine by enhancing both flow and capacity compared to the restrictive factory plastic component. This direct replacement for the stock inlet manifold is constructed from precision sand cast and heat-treated 356-T6 aluminum, ensuring strength and resilience.\n\nThe manifold undergoes accurate CNC machining on multiple fixtures to ensure proper alignment and optimize inlet and outlet port sizing for superior air flow. Each unit is pressure tested to 50psi (3.4bar) for burst resistance, eliminating the risk of failure common with stock plastic manifolds under higher boost pressures. The interior surface is coated with an epoxy for smooth air flow, and it utilizes a custom-designed gasket instead of O-rings, allowing for increased port dimensions and preventing heat transfer from the stock lower manifold.\n\nOptimized air distribution between the five cylinders creates consistent combustion chamber filling and maximum power gains. While stock T5 engines can see up to +14hp and +13ftlb of torque, tuned engines with other ELEVATE components can achieve gains exceeding +26hp and +22ftlb. The higher the engine output, the more effective this performance inlet manifold becomes.\n\nInstallation is straightforward for DIYers with basic automotive skills and hand tools, typically taking between twenty minutes and an hour and a half. It is available in Bright Silver or Gloss Black powder-coated finishes. The manifold is designed to fit the Volvo C30 (2007-2014) T5 engine.","brand":"Elevate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687932916024,"sku":"207:20001","price":755.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/663171192.jpg?v=1784887697","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/t5-performance-inlet-manifold","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
