Jenvey TB's, Raceline Manifold (?)

[Jackal]

I just posted this in my build thread, but I wanted to get a little wider exposure, so I'm double posting it here. I'm sorry if this is not allowed, and I'll delete it if it is not allowed.

 

I also got the backplate drilled and cleaned up for the intake. Unfortunately it looks like ass when the hood is attached. I tried offsetting the backplate to make it look good through the hood opening, but unfortunately because of the way the trumpets fit under the filter I couldn't offset it enough to look good under the hood. It will end up bugging me forever so I imagine I'll be looking for a scoop to cover the hole. So first question to all you fine enthusiasts is where you may find a scoop for covering the hood opening?

So I was fitting the hood again recently and attaching the latches, and this problem came up again. I have been using the intake manifold that came with the Jenvey kit. This manifold has a 24 degree incline that does not level out, and creates the unsightly mess you see quoted above. The link to the Jenvey intake manifold drawing is here:

I found an intake manifold from Raceline here:

I have emailed Raceline and hope to hear from them soon, but I know that asking here will give me more specific answers to my application. The image of the Raceline manifold looks like the TB's level out where they mate to the manifold and would solve my challenge with the hood.

 

Has anyone used this combination (Raceline manifold, Jenvey DCOE TB's)? Has anyone with a Birkin used this combo? Any input or picture references I can draw upon?

 

Thanks.
