Question Boowana, Is NAIAS Renesis Display for Automatic?

Boowana took a couple of pictures of a Renesis in a glass case on display at NAIAS. Is the intake shown the one for the Automatic?

http://home.att.net/~mazdarx8/901-0192_IMG.JPG

I can only make out two runners for each rotor. Does the 6-speed intake have three runners or is it using a combination of the two shown?

It could be possible that there is a third runner cast into the intake that can't been seen, but it doesn't look like it.

Thoughts?

Boowana, can you find out?

Thanks,
Robert

Unhappy Renesis

Also...it looks like the exhaust from both rotors just dumps into a single collector before exiting to the rear. Funniest looking header I've ever seen. Doesn't look very efficient. Is there some reason for this?

Thanks,
Robert
