Who cares is it’s made from exotic materials if a simple aluminum rail with the exact same dimensions does the exact same thing. Sounds like hype to me. I need to see the physics/mechanics behind it.

i would think the gains are coming from the composite fuel keeping the temps down as opposed to an aluminum rail but then again if you dont have the rail/manifold combo it may be pointless
