x2, utter complete crap.
A friend of mine purchased his car with that same manifold on it. The car ran terrible to say the least.

 

will you please explain why it ran like crap. What did it do? Did he lose power?

 

You are better off with an OEM y8.

 

I installed one on my old a6 and all it did was make the air intake louder. Didn't feel any performance increase more like a dead spot around 3500rpms. the only good thing about this intake is the runners are great to use with ITBs.

 

what about with the skunk 2 manifold how's that perform?

Will you warrent an S2?

 

i have a brand new super 16g 450cc injectors, walboro 190lph fp, as well as my greddy type s bov. i just need a manifold and intorcooler piping. I was going to put my big t3 on it but i think if i do that i will lose the all around fun factor of a descent handeling car

Just get the S2 or the EdelbrockX

 

which is better?

 

Wow alot of misinformation does go on here. The Y8 manifold is not a good choice on any other setup then a Y8, they are known to cause cylinder #3 run lean on z6's and a6's.

I have a victor x on my B20 and it seems to be alright. I notice more power in the upper rpms where it should be anyways due to the plenum size and runners being real short.

The skunk 2 has been said to make more power then a victor x although I have yet to see dyno sheets that back up that claim.

My buddy is running a Power XS manifold on his built LS and it performs just as good as my edelbrock. Alot of people will talk **** about ebay parts because they really dont know what the hell they are talking about to begin with. Most kids buy parts with the "name" just to say they have such and such manufactuers part on their car, even though brand x could be better performance wise.

From my personal experiences, the Victor makes a tad bit better power through the midrange for boosted situations than the S2, but the second gen S2 manifold has a better distribution of air fuel mixture across the board than the edelbrock....

The S2 has had proven gains across the power band NA too....this is all from experience and not hearsay....I would use either one, depending on the deal you get for each maifold, seeing as the differences can easily be overcome with forced induction....
