What intake manifold is the one most commonly used by you guys? Also, which has the best quality, and the best gains, if any?

I'm thinking most of you run Skunk2 or JDM Type-R, but I just want to hear the pro's and cons for both of 'em.

Thanks in advance.

Skunk 2 is a copy of the stock ITR IM. Just use the stock one for most builds.

Yeah, that wasn't planned, just happened that way. It'd be more spooky if it was 2001 though..

We've seen this on a Type-R and it makes very little power. Austin had one and I think he saw 2-3 hp if that. It just isn't work the money on an R.

yeah but 3 hp isnt bad unless you have a lot of mods for just an IM. For $150 isnt not a bad bolt on if you got the money to blow

this guy got 8 hp by +10psi fuel press. and the AEBS

What would he have gotten with just the 10+ psi fuel? No way to know what the manifold did on it's own.

Fuel management is MUCH MUCH more important than an intake manifold on a Type-R

and the top secret is revealed :lol: I personally wouldn't waste even the $150 on that manifold... The designers tested and planned out a well built and designed factory intake manifold for the ITR, that'll honestly be hard to beat. This might be a crappy example, but its like wearing your buddies shoes that are the same size you wear... Your shoes are gonna work out better than his cause yours have been formed to fit your personal foot.... am I making any kinda sense?
