L.O.D. Speedworks has spent three years in research and development to produce their new intake manifolds that will seriously boost the performance of an LS3-powered vehicle. These are made specifically for LS3 square port-style engines, and are independently dyno tested to show big gains of both horsepower and torque.

When installing this seriously impressive intake, you don’t have to modify your hood or your firewall. Each of the L.O.D. Speedworks X1 intakes are constructed from aluminum and made in the USA in a high-tech machining facility. The X1 intake manifold is a great addition to your late model GM engine.

The runner layout and big plenum design makes for maximum airflow, which is great if you’re looking for an intake for your forced induction application. In addition, the aluminum construction won’t distort under boost, and the runners have bosses that are ideal for nitrous applications. While Raf Fischetto designed the intake with boosted and/or big cube applications in mind, the intake really wakes up a stock engine, as well. Its three-piece design means you’ll have easy access to both ends of the runners. What this all adds up to is double-digit horsepower and torque gains, whether your car is naturally aspirated, or getting help from some serious modifications.

The power-making intake by L.O.D. Speedworks comes in a cast finish and is available in many different colors, so you can get one that coordinates with your engine bay, or just go crazy and make something wicked-looking for when you pop the hood.
