Hello, I was wondering if this is a good buy, at a good price?
Its an Aluminum Venom Intake Manifold for $549.95

heres a direct URL to see it:
http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=193884&catalogId=10101&langId=-1&storeId=10101


it says, "CNC machined 6061 T6 billet aluminum head flange
Machined intake runner surface reduces turbulence to increase speed & volumetric efficiency of intake manifold (70% over stock intake)"

no real proven gains. Id rather port/polish the stocker. Seems a hefty price knowing that.

Agreed ^

Waste of money unless your heavily breathing air (race cams/lots of boost).

I read that it is worse than stock in past threads.:shrug

whatever the case, i wouldnt pay 550 bucks for it

^^ what they said... If you want fancy, port and polish yours, bore the tb out, get a new butteryfly valve, and have the whole deal powercoated, and come out way way cheaper

Plus if you really do want to get it , thats not even a good price for it. www.horsepowerfreaks.com has it for less.

1. Big can, cut for a stock TB.
2. Stock length runners.
3. No provisions for ANY SENSORS.

Stock is better.

Its plenum is flanged for up to 66mm, but I agree on you about the stock runners.

UHH lets see here The OBX manifold is made by Venom from what ive been told.. i can sell you a brand new one for $220 shipped and with the map holes drilled

This post is from feb dude.

I got the sonic if you got the boom.

I've seen one of these on my friends 420a he bought. It looked like shit and made his car run even worse than shit, wouldn't hold an idle for its life etc...that is of course he didn't have enough supporting mods to even get flow outta that manifold. Waste of money, your better off porting your stocker.

Dude I dont think that is actually real man. I have only seen the obx but people put a venom sticker on it because it is a better company but The obx intake manifold is a great choice only and I mean only if you port and polish the intake manifold and resurface the flange and youll see some good gains on a boosted engine with an upgraded head and cams definitely worth the cheap price if you machine it. Still trying to understand where the venom version is coming from.

This thread is 8 years old... But there is a Venom intake. Its marginally better quality than the Obx. I used an Obx for about a week and took it off..

The OBX is a direct copy of a Venom. Its called a knock off. There would be no OBX without the Venom
