How did they accomplish that??!!

 

Ya, the rear wheel is troubling

 

lol i didn't even catch that. . . surely that was a typo... that thing is wicked looking isn't it... i wonder how it would compare to other h series aftermarket intakes

 

Its a bunch of aluminium welded to a hacked up factory manifold. lame. Looks like you would need a custom intake too with the tb being at an angle.

 

Supposed gains are probably with boost over stock IM at high RPM.

Lol, I personally think it looks terrible. They didn't even bother to clean up the old IM or to polish the existing manifold to match their new pieces. The idea of an angled TB entry is intriguing, though.

 

Looks like garbage

 

The link says it would look good on a show car , what the f^%k, it may work but it looks like a bloody mess.

 

that is one of the worst looking pieces of **** i have ever seen. harsh, but so is the reality that someone may purchase this garbage. this is the type of show car material you would find in my neighbouring province......quebec!!! vive la garbage!!

 

somebody beat that thing with the ugly stick f u c k ing nasty

 

notice how the ports do not even come out of the plenum evenly, its like they didnt even measure it before they drilled!!!

they could have at least powder coated it and made it look decent. what a mess of a manifold

 

They didn't even trim or block the egr! WTF are you supposed to do that? What a mess. I would feel sorry for any clown that spent money on this.

 

That has craftsmanship written all over it...

 

Lol, everybody likin' that nice 40-degree bend in the #1 cylinder runner? I still don't understand why they wouldn't have just fabbed the whole thing instead of hacking a stock IM. And what's with the divots near the #1 & #2 runners? Ugh

 

what does it matter what the outside looks like?

the plenum design reminds me a little of RLZ

Birdmans RLZ IM is just sick!!!

But seriously guys, you get too hung up on looks......If it makes power, Id use it!
You should see some of the late 90's Turbo Manifolds that are still floating around.....just horrible, but they worked.
Function&gt;Fashion

 

Whats with you guys in the beauty department? I'm gonna ignore all the "looks" comments as they are sort of homosexual lol jk

How much work would it take to make it look pretty? Not too much, thats for sure. How much work would it take to design an IM that performs well? A bit! Needless to say if the dyno proves it yielded 20 HP at the ....rear wheels lol, than its design is practical and effective.

I would say the IM isn't a total disaster even as far as looks go. It needs a bit of porting/ polishing inside and out probably or a powder coat as someone else suggested, but who cares. If it works well it works well.

The craftsmanship though is horrid! A measuring instrument should have been used and I think the runners should have been redone to flow more efficiently into the block as they probably arn't flow friendly as they should be.

no **** dyno chart or death

 

for the record, that's not a intake, it's an intake manifold.

 

egr what? egr who? spark knock, go melty melty, bye bye. ps i am homo with my lude, i must be , i spend more time with it than my wife lol

 

I would love to see an accurate modeling of that using cosmos, then one refining the runners to eliminate the sudden bends where the stock portion was used.

This intake manifold actually makes the Prelude AWD!

 

The way #1 runner looks is case enough for me to never purchase this product

 

will it even fit on an h22? fail

 

another thing. . . where the hell did the iacv or iat sensor go???.
