Default full-race intake manifold?

Has anyone used a fullrace intake manifold yet on there turbo setups? I ordered mine and got it in today and the quality of the product made me think it was not a full-race product! I would of posted pics but packaged it back up to send back but just maybe a mistake? has anyone used one and it it really worth it? Or has anyone used one of the new magnus manifold? Im needing to make up my mind. On my set up i plan on making around 700+whp

What exactly was wrong with it that you wanted to send it back?

Their new manifold definitely makes power on high HP setups. It has a huge plenum design.

the flange was like milled uneven and someoen did some alum fillin in on the back that looked like ***!! but the main thing if you look at the web site and look at the flange it is thick, the one i got was very very thin on top and thick on botton and was scared up pretty bad. I might have them send me another one but lookin for some imput first

the manifold is at a local race shop. We had to take some pics of it to send to full-race before we got a return number. Everyone who saw the manifold today did not think it was full-race quality and no one was impressed. I waited all week for it to come in and thought it was going to be awsome but it put me in a really bad mood! But i have never seen anything from them that was really bad. Has anyone used the manifold before? Does anyone have any info or input

Get a magnifing glass Thats what i use (LOL). OR go to fullrace.com and see it. I know the issues he's talking about Thats why i PM'D him and to be in the circle you gotta buy one(JK), but i heard your a DIY,so make one better . If your going to bite , might as well take a BIG chunk from the topdawg FR. ; Nah but i'm just playing with you. I don't want to be to critical on anyone but it doesn't Look to be up to par with what we are used too. Being it isn't CNC welded, It looks to be cast in 2 pcs. so it has to be hand welded. BUt it's VERSION 1.

Actually it is that, LOL! Got it for free, so might as well use it, does it's job(keeps the oil in, and not on all my FR STUFF!) PLUS makes a nice GLOW all over my TOPMOUNT. Thanks for noticing.
MAYBE you can fab me a better oil cap? I'm paypal verified.

I never had a problem with full race till now but i will not order another intake manifold from them personally! For 900 it should be flawless. But have have another intake im going to order tomorrow for 900 and i know it will be flawless and probably out flow the full race

Hello 85mmek9,

I am sorry to hear that you have a problem with us and that you are unsatisfied with our product. Let me know if there is anything that we can do to remedy this situation.

Anyhow, the Intake Manifold might not look PRETTY but it does outperform most of the other intake manifolds on the market. I personally prefer FUNCTION over FASHION.

By the way, what other Intake Manifold are you going with that will probably out flow our Intake Manifold??

Thanks
henry
