thanks alot. now for another question. what is everyones preferance for an aftermarket intake mani?

Posted: **Fri Jan 04, 2008 11:44 pm**

what engine is it?

if its a b16 id go for an oem b16b or b18c

orrrrr, skunk2 manifolds are supposed to be really good.

we should be becoming dealers of skunk2 soon... more cheap parts for my car :woot:

AEBS intake manifold! they work really good and half the cost of Skunk 2

The skunk2 is a ported version of the CTR or ITR manifolds.

I read somewhere (where people really know what they're doing) to get a Bloxx i/m and have it ported/polished.

Since they're S2 knock-offs you get a polished 'Skunk2' for the same price as a real Skunk2.

Personally, I don't want to take the risk that one of the injector bosses isn't good so my injectors will leak, or just won't close properly and leak where it goes onto the head... so I'll be using a Skunk2 i/m and pay the few extra dollars.

But to make things a bit easier for you;

Personally, I'd like either the Edelbrock Victor X or just the Skunk2, since I want boost in the near future.
Skunk2 is prob. the manifold I'm going to get.
A Professional Products tapered 68mm t/b is also on my wishlist ;)
Too bad I couldn't find a comparison between the Victor X and the Skunk2

I don't know, but isn't Blox a B-grade manufacturer where Skunk2 is grade A?
