i was wondering if this is a decent design for a mnaifold, as well as if any one has tried useing it if there are any flaws that are visible with how the wiring would go or the TB lining up?? thanks to any help one so ever.

 

bump

 

nothing but a bump....ehehe...gl

 

I'd like to know as well...

 

Wow

That looks like a cleaner version of what my poor attempt at making an intake manifold would look like if I did it.

And probably functions the same :-P

My honest opinion...don't buy it....wasteeeeeeee in about 40 aspects...

 

buy it cuz its chrome

 

For a little more you can buy one you can trust. to OBX header lol

 

^^yeah. first its ebay..next its obx. i'd be surprised if it actually fit on the motor.

I say buy so you can let us know how it fits.

Honestly save and get a type r manifold or victorx or something. Wouldn't trust the OBX brand too much.

 

see i like egay. and yes i know its chrome thats not the reason i would want it i thought that it might compare to a y8 IM if not better? just wondering

 

Hell no. Honda, like all auto manufacturers, puts a huge amount of R&D into their intake manifold design. The length, diameter, shape, and texture are all tuned to get an even amount of air to each cylinder and to optimize airflow at a specific RPM range for the specific head. Zero R&D went into designing that manifold other than making it fit. If you're naturally aspirated, you're better off with a DX intake manifold. If you're turbo, you might get lucky and make more power. But something like that is bound to cause more problems than it's worth.

"- Increased volumetric efficiency by 70% over stock intake manifold
- 10-15 horsepower increase"

This is not even technically possible. If you believe this bullshit, then I got some magic jelly beans for sale you might be interested in.

 

the chrome will make your intake hot so youll get poor performance out of it.

 

ok. and no i didnt believe that it was 70% bigger i was just thinking that it has a bigger plenum than the y8 and im going to be boosted so i figured the bigger the plenum the better off i would be turbo wise. but i understand ur logic.

 

don't buy cheap ****. in the end you'll end up paying more. do it right the first time.

 

aebs manifolds arent much more than that, and theyve been proven to make power

im a little iffy on that one, they dont even show pics of the inside of the plenum. just shots of the chrome stunninnzz on the outside

 

...but i dont know if they make them for d-series, so that wont really help will it
