Due to the close dimensions of the RV10 cowling and high weight (28 lbs.) of the stock intake manifold, we chose to build a custom intake along the same lines as the one made for our EJ22T powered RV6A. The plenum was made from 4 inch, .058 wall mild steel tubing, runners were 2 inch, .049 wall mandrel bent, TB mounting and head flanges were .1875 mild steel flat stock.

The plenum was flattened into an oval shape for additional cowling clearance in a press.
