Undoubtedly both the MTM and Wagner work which is not surprising considering how similiar they are to each other. But we don't really have any alternative choice for a nicely designed cast manifold!

Now if we could get a cast duel plenum................... oh happy days!
P.S i take it your not happy with the intake design?
Personally, I liked the SMS one as it looked like it had been thought about when in the design phase, so things like the throttle cable boss and the various take offs necessary had been incorporated making it perhaps a true bolt on. Having said that it was I guess designed for the S4/S6 but if you look at it you can see what I mean.
If its origins are indeed Herr Lehmann and it supports 450 bhp then it would have, subject to price of course, have been a viable option for those interested in that kind of output.
I know its academic but hopefully we might see whether it was a performer in terms of flow to the others. In fact I think it looks a lot better without the SMS logo cast in the top, almost OE!

I actually managed to talk myself a deal with QST to buy an MTM manifold 2 years ago for a discount price, it would have cost around £700 quid, now it'll cost you 1k for the manifold.
I didn't go through with it in the end as bought a Wagner IM in the group buy, would have loved it for the bling factor alone.
