well its either an x14 or an x16. difficult to tell tbh! however that box on the top is a mantzel (or copy of such) inlet manifold.

improves performance by increasing airflow. dont know what the tapping could be tho. unless its just the noise of the air inside it...or the injectors resonating back thru it.

either way, looks fine to me! :)
