I never used the JG, but the Skunk2 I didn't like at all! it loses a lot of the bottom end. So I sold it and went back to stock.

If you are forced induction I can say go with the JG all the way. If your gonna stay all motor is kinda a toss up between the two.

the JG intake manifold has a larger plenum and shorter intake runners, imho this would be the better intake manifold between the 2


too bad i already have a skunk2

the JG one doesnt have to be used over 9000 rpm's

either way u lose some low end, but when u think about it, if ur racing ur above 5000 rpms most of the time anyway, so it doesnt really matter. just everyday driving is affected when u try and stomp on it in third at 3000 rpms

heard good things about JG. skunk2 is fine for the price. i wouldnt even recommend getting either of those intake manifolds unless you were gonna go past 7000+ rpms.

I have an STR Manifold on my civic w a b20 in it. That manifold works great. There is a loss of power at low rpm but then again i dont race out of vtec or try to go fast at 3000 rpm the power band is 5500 rpm to well redline for me is 10000 rpm. Dyno wise I gained 20 hp top end with 13 torque that is n/a. I have heard good things about all the manifolds But the skunk one i had wouldn't let the car breathe fully Never thought about getting the JG

Just giving alternatives hey you pay for what you get I only paid 750.00 I guess thats not bad considering its made here out of full billet aluminum and the 10k the ecu is chipped don't usually go that high though It's a bore motor not a stroker motor

So its a 2.0liter not a b20.
