I read 2 articals, and it doesnt seem to be a bad deal. Well I'm unsure of the price, but check this out,

"The new fuel rails are made usinbg a proprietary casting process from carbon-fiber,s-glass, and ceramic reinforced nylonthat is 33 Percent lighter, 60 percent stronger, and runs 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than aluminum at operating temperature.....The new fuel rails feature extra smooth large (AN-8) internal bores with radius inlets to the injectors, which improves flow characteristics. This type of radius injector inlet design is not possible with extrued and drilled alluminum fuel rails."

I looked on www.skunk2.com, and didnt find this product. I called the company up, and spoke to a reprensenative, She told me that there were some back ups, and were scedualed to relese last month, but pushed back to Dec06-Jan07.

Price, $192.85
For B's and K series only, well for now

I cant find any pics, but I found this on last months Honda Tuning Magazine. Look on the last page, and will be on the Skunk2 section.

I too saw that, but the hondata intake manifold gasket would work for lowering the temps also.
***want to see dyno graphs***

I guess you could pick up 1/10% gain because your fuel would be heated less in the 2 second it's in the rail...
Seriously, it might look cool, put I doubt there would be a real performance gain...

your fuel doesnt stay in the rail long enough to get that heated. i bet though that it looks damn nice.

Its pretty sweet... yea.. i guess my 440 injectors really suck it out of the rail. Im going to call the company again, and see if I can get one now..
