nobody has tried this intake manifold? Is this why nobodys replied

 

I think it's $3000.

That's why nobody has it - it's not worth it.

i dont think its quite 3000 dollars, but you definately wont need it unless you have a serious race app.

 

Check out TheOldOne.com
It has put up great numbers..also it is closer to $1200..not $3000. Some people claim it is better than ITB's.
Just check that site out.

 

right, reading an article on it earlier today i read it had like a 3% flow restriction, which is awesome. Plus it will be cool too the touch, a good piece if you can afford it/need it.

are these numbers posted on Endyne's site, w/ tests done by Larry or his so called crew??

Larry doesnt have the best rep with some people...biased test??

an AEM CAI claims to ad 19.2 hp as well. makes you wonder

 

Over priced, and wont really make much power, unless you have a super agressive setup. Buy a aebs for cheap as hell, and port it, or if you want to be a baller, buy a set of itb's. I dont see how it could make more power than itb's Just doesnt really make sense. But if they did it i guess its true.

No he won't. The AIR/Endyn manifold makes more power than ANY other intake system out there, periord. This is pretty much a proven fact. It makes 40whp non-peak over a JG intake manifold. It is pricey, and it's not for everyone. But for those of you looking to make substantial chunks of additional power and lose quite a bit of weight in the process, it's definately worth the $1500 or whatever they're charging for them now.

Check the results. Dyno doesn't lie.

 

looking at the design, it's an amazing piece. Only 4 lbs, smooth as silk CF and aluiminum construction, and some of the sweetest lines and tapers I have ever seen. The gains are dyno proven, and regardless of what people say about TOO, I have had nothing but praise for him. His pistons are well designed, and the company has great customer service.

It's a beautiful piece, built for what will be a limited market.

turbo only

i doubt you would see similar gains on an 1.8L N/A motor

 

IIRC, a similar test was performed on a N/A engine -- AIR vs. ITR. The AIR manifold made 21ft/lbs more torque somewhere in the power curve (wasn't peak). Wish I could find that thread again.

 

man i'd love to see the itr vs. AIR chart
