I just picture the large manifold being able to raise and lower and having the runners shorten or lengthen by telescoping...get my drift?
not a bad idea, but I would imagine that the intake would need its own tune to change the runner length depending on the powerband of the motor. not to mention it would need to have pliable mounts for the runners to mount to the heads to adjust for the angle of the runner as the intake plenum was raised or lowered. now if you were to do an individual runner setup, that might be easier to run adjustable (on the fly) runner lengths.

dunno... ill look into it tho.
