My fave was the manifold found being used on a NASCAR restrictor-race
engine.
It was cast, at least in part, from a sintered metal material, highly
porous, which would flow a  hundred or so cfm of air right through the walls
of the manifold!   I won't vouch for the acuracy of this story but I do
admire the ingenuity!
