What is everyone using for replacement on these since they are no longer available?
What ever you do don't buy the manifold from chucklenuts at aftershot motorspurts motorsports.
It is a straight unit and the stock fl350 is offset.
If you put a straight unit on the intake boot coming from air box hits the gearbox and puts a big
kink in the boot. My brother bought one and we had a hell of a time fitting it and at $160 bucks
it's not worth it in my opinion. If I remember right the carb will also rub on one of the
Engine to
transmission mounts and you will have to modify this mount by cutting one side of it off for carb
clearance.
oops my bad I thought you were asking about the fl350 unit.
No oops this is good info to exchange and for others to be aware of the Pilot and Odyssey share the same bolt patterns so one made for the 350 could bolt on a Pilot its the other dimensions you need to deal with if you want to use the factory air box and other rubber boots and maintain the reliability, I covered most this in my Big Tom Straight Pilot Manifold Modification article, not sure if that manifold could be used the same way on a FL350 or not.
I would still like to see
Speedchaser fabricate a manifold that would allow the use of a Mikuni rubber manifold then owners can pick the manifold that fits the carb they want to use.
Speedchaser is a genius so I know he can design and build something that will not create the problems seen created by the one aftershitmotorsports.
At the same time Speedchaser could make one for the FL250 also.
Look at the design of the FL250 manifold its just a block of aluminum.

http://www.pilotodyssey.com/PO/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7908I can send Speedchaser a Pilot intake to model from not sure I have a FL350 intake but bet he does in his shop

Below are just pictures of other manifolds I grabbed off the web to show what could be fabricated they are for other applications.
