The Skunk 2 Cost a Bit More than the Itr, Is it Worth the additional $pend?

 

no

 

Why? Do you have ANYTHING to back up your claim?

 

honestly..ive seen ITR im/tb go for 80 bucks! i have an itr manifold on my si..but its mainly stock..cant really tell you which is better..

but if someone could help me..what is that other hose right beside the coolent hose on the itr manifold?

 

a skunk2 will out perform the itr in the top end I belive. But a ported itr will outperm the skunk2 all over

 

Save some money for a Edelbrock Victor X.

 

save for the victor x. is that all you have to say. that really wasnt the question. if you port the itr manifold why not port the skunk2 one

 

not going to do you well unless you have a big liter /ported head cams all motor setup

 

The pro series manifold is basically and itr manifold just optimized with a larger plenum and slightly shorter runners. Its a good manifold out the box.

 

Skunk2 features a larger plenum and longer runners. I have dynoed both a ported ITR manifold and a ported Skunk2 pro series manifold. The ported Skunk2 was good for an additional 6 whp increase. By the way, this was ported by the same engine builder all in the same week as per my request to be used for dyno comparison.

Yes it is worth the additional money to get the Skunk2 pro series manifold.

 

lets see the dyno.

-op, i would opt for whichever im is cheaper as i HIGHLY doubt an s2p im outperforms an itr by 6whp. thats almost laughable

 

its off topic but im a fan of the golden eagle IM. ive ran the skunk2 and the itr and the golden eagle if by far my favorite. they are pretty spendy but worth it.

 

sorry to bump an ancient thread but there must be someone who dynoed a skunk2 im on their type R?

 

From a styling standpoint,

The Skunk2 manifold looks like a$$ compared to the p73. I think that the large S2 logo on the plenum is way too big and over the top.

If that skunk2 logo was a little more understated , smaller, either reliefed or depth engraved it would look way better.

have you ever seen a deburred and polished type R manifold? They're beautiful.



I got a p73 deburred, media blasted and High heat clearcoated. The throttle body is portmatched, as well as the runners portmatched to the gasket. I doubt a skunk2 would perform any better on my motor........and it looks 10x better than the skunk2.

 

you say you doubt .. but that is all speculation untill you dyno a portmatched skunk to against your p73 one
