Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone has seen or heard anything about the Advance Induction Research Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold. I am looking at buying one for a civic that I am building and I want to know if you think it is even worth it or just for looks the website for the Intake Manifold is http://www.advancedinductionresearch.com/
Thanks

"List Price $1450.00"

Ouch. I don't think it is worth that. Ya can buy a just as good manifold for a fraction of that and spend the extra money on a full exhaust or something.

ouch is right. i think you can go ITB's for cheaper than that.

 

Wow that would break the bank i want to see how much better it flows compared to a sheet metal like STR or Venom i don't think it could be that much more, and IMO it is ugly.

 

Apparently, it is worth every penny. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=652605

 

Talk to Larry @ Endyn. They aren't that much. I think you could get a cheaper manifold to flow better then that for less money personally though.

 

Its the most engineered intake manifold on the market. What you dont realize is the flow analysis that went into the design, as well as the thermal conductivity properites of carbon fiber. Particle flow with the manifold is greater than any itb set-up, its well worth the money. If you dont have substantial mods to take advantage of the manifold, the gains wont besignficant. Gains of 50whp over the eldebrock in FI applications have been measured already.

 

Not to steal the thread, but just wondering how a Venom IM flows compared to a this one, or a Skunk2 or Edelbrock? This would be for NA, not FI. Thanks!

 

Well the post with the info was great I wish I had used the search tool. Makes my mind up. I will be buying one tomorrow.

Thanks

 

Did you get it yet? What do you think? On the engine yet?
