Well, I was bored the other day so I read up on 3 weeks of Talon Digest. I saw a group purchase for "Magnus Motorsports'" Intake manifold that gained a 1G GSX 40HP at the wheels....
It is a very innovative design and actually incorporates silicone runners for "tuning" the runner lengths... check it out (link below)
So naturally I emailed them asking for details for us......
------Here's The reply that I got:-----------
Okay, done! Marco says he will make a 420A sheet metal intake.
For people who want information, direct them to this page:
Let me know if you have any questions, and I will send updates to you when I get them. Feel free to check in with me as well.
The price will depend on how many people want to buy them. Normal price, (I think, dont quote me) is 650$ USD. If enough people are buying, we might be able to do a group purchase on those also and get the price down.

Keep in mind that "Group Purchase" price for 1Gs was $500, so if we get enough of us...

I've seen the intake a couple of times and it is a nice looking piece. Since I'm the only one with a turbo 2gnt anywhere near Magnus maybe next time I stop in there I'll offer to be the test monkey and try to get some dyno numbers before and after on a 2gnt turbo.

Hey Sean, what's goin on? How's your Hahn Stage II holding up? I'm soon planning, if $$$ permit, to go the Hahn Stage IV route. First need my Crane ignition, and Stage II axles...then Stage IV fuel system...then when cows jump over the moon, a Quaife LSD.

Hey, what's up. The car's doing fine. I'm just saving money to get a new exaust and a spare motor to build up over the winter. I don't know if you know or not but every month the Canadian DSM guys meet up at Yorkdale mall in Toronto (on the first Sunday of the month). Your not exactly a DSM guy but what the hell it never stopped anyone else before from stopping buy. So if your not busy on Sunday you should stop by and check out some of the cars. We meet at noon in the west side of the lot near the food court. Maybe I'll see you there.

At Yorkdale? Oh that's pretty close for me. It may very well be possible for me to make it out! You're going to build up a spare motor as well? I've checked it out for a motor build up and with everything...new pistons, rods, rings, engine machining and assembly and Stage IV fuel system components = around $5000-6000. That's including exchange duty and taxes. I called Leitner Bush in Thornhill for machining prices, pretty much around $1000-1500. Anyway sorry for rambling, but keep your eyes out for me on Sunday, I'd like to meet up with you and check your ride.

I will email the guy and tell him, and maybe he can register on this board and talk with us directly.
Sean: Do you mind helping out then? Can I use you as referral?
mitseclps: I am pretty sure that the intake will make a difference to a NA car, but how much, I really can't tell without any testing.
vector_racing: Venom *claim* to "be making" one for us. They have claimed this for the past two years... They even list a model number like as if it exists!
No problem with either. There's a chance I might run into Marco this weekend (owner of Magnus). If I do I will be sure to talk to him about the intake. If you call him and need to use me as a reference just tell him it's Sean from Hamilton and he should clue into who your talking about.

Hey guys.
I am running the current Magnus Motorsports group purchase for sheet metal intakes.
Since there seems to be a bit of interest, we are going to get a SMI built for the 420A as well. We just decided to do this the other day, so there is very little to tell at this point.
Once we have an idea of what the production date will be, we can consider the possibility of doing a group purchase as well.
