Here are two
samples of a line of highly polished aluminum intake manifolds that Wald Diversified is
making in Asia. Unlike all competitive manifolds of this type, these are cast in permanent
(steel) molds, which produces a superior casting. Additionally, this casting process
provides for very accurate positioning of the cores, which eliminates core shift, a common
problem with sand castings. Even though this manifold requires 16 hours of hand labor to
produce the show quality polished finish, it is so economical to produce that even being
sold through two-step distribution, it still retails for only $149.95. An equivalent
manifold domestically produced would retail for approximately $350 at minimum. The
company who markets this line of manifolds is known for uncompromised quality. In over a
year of production, not one single manifold has been returned for any type of problem
whatsoever. They fit perfectly, they do not leak, and they typically produce more power
and performance than competitive manifolds, which cost significantly more. |

| This steel
forging is the end of an automotive axle. In this particular instance, Wald Diversified
provides raw forgings to the U.S. customer who performs the final assembly and machining. |
This product was
actually designed by Wald personnel on behalf of an U.S. manufacturer of automotive
products. The goal was to produce a part that was lighter, yet stronger than the solid
6061-T6 aluminum bars used by the competition. These bars are 23% lighter than solid bars,
yet 19% stiffer. The product is used to clamp onto the rocker arm studs on Chevy V8 racing
engines and prevent flexing. |
