If you don't mind me asking, what is the best intake manifold for our cars?

i've got a fast fabrications with a extrude honed bottom runners and it helped alot but u cant buy the fast fabrications one any more. venom has one but i've heard that u have to mod it and it still doesnt work all that great so if i was u i would just get your stock extrude honed or atleast get it ported and polished

fully built, gt70 turbo, and F.A.S.T standalone what more do i need to say

OBX its the same as the venom just half the price.
you will need some cams/porting to make good use of it IMO

who has the obx mani? i can remember a thread saying that they were not soo good. i too am looking for a mani to go with the 60mm tb and the turbo. was there ever any dyno hp to show if it helps? if so i might have missed that so factual numbers would be good thanks

your wasting your time with aftermarket intake manifolds. make more power than us with stock ones, and then get an aftermarket manifold. like said abovem just get your stock one extrude honed.

Send your stock intake manifold to a company in Australia and they'll design you a carbon fiber quad individual throttle body intake manifold. The only question is do you have 2500 bucks? :P

Out of all of the aftermarket intake manifolds out there for the 2GNT, I'm not very impressed by any of them. Sorry.

Keep the stock manifold. Bring it, along with your cylinder head to a machine shop that has ported intake manifolds before. Have them gasket-match the surfaces (match up the ports).

Then, send your head and intake manifold to Extrude Hone. This will enlarge the ports slightly, and eliminate any imperfections from the gasket-matching.

Porting/gasket-matching and then Extrude Honing is probably the best option out there. It's not cheap, but the best never is.

i'm going to start porting intakes in the upcoming weeks. i work at machine shop now and i have an extra one in the garage now. i'll port it and see how long it takes, then develop a cost accordingly. let me know if you want one...chris
