Default going from dual IM to a Skunk2,will the intake swap?

switching out the stock dual runner gsr IM for a skunk2,can you angle the intake to make it fit,or does it need a different intake? im using an aem V2. if anyone has done this or tried it please let me know,thanks.

You need a different intake, probably easiest to sell your GSR one and buy a Type R or LS version (the bend will be perfect for the Skunk2).

You may be able to cut off a piece of your existing one and fab up something, but it will be a pain that is easier solved by getting new piping.

That's true, if you can't find someone to trade with, just buy an ebay arm for an ITR or LS, and use your existing filter on it.

its probably not good to just try and force things. spend the money and do things right. you'll run into less problems in the long run.

i just did the Skunk 2 IM swap...you need a new intake man... sell the GSR one... i also recommend changing the ECU so that you vtec doesnt kick in at 4,400 RPMS! felt like i was loosing power at vtec! but now i put in a P73 ECU vtec kicks in later and pulls hard!.... runs lil rich tho... let me know how it turns out....
