I like that it's polished looks alot better but looks do not equal hp! Just like any mod but a blower or N20 it's not gonna make half of what they advertise unless you got it and a bunch of other parts working togeather!

When mustang and fast fords magazine tested that u gotta notice the small print.... they test it stock and then they go and put a throttlebody,plenum and the new intake they gain like 20 some horsepower. I know tahts not a accurate description but im not looking at the magazine right now.... but it doesnt seem like good gains at all when u consider that they added 3 new parts for the car and only got taht much horsepower. it doesnt seem like the manifold did much at all. if over 10 hp at all.... just my thoughts on the subject
yeah and replacing 3 parts for 26 hp on a heavily modded car is true, that thing is basically for looks.

Here's a link to another intake.

http://www.hiperformancesolutions.com/index.html

I like the coolant mod that runs across the back of the manifold.

There's a manifold under development called the VRI it seems to be more of a tunable length runner intake than a true variable runner design.(like on the 4 valve engines)

Just checked out the site for the intake.

You are visitor # 00000 Thanks!

Woo Hoo, I'm #00000!!

I still can't figure out how they got +26hp. I know it's been awhile since I have been in school, but 326-310=16hp.

lol yeah that simple math is tough sometimes.


so that means if i screw up the math on my car, i can actually gain horsepower?

Dude on an impala painted intake and covers will get you style points (translated into ricer language = major hp).

It comes in satin, I would paint it black so it looks stock, oh well at least you can port it. I love how all the NON pi guys get left out........hell we would gain more from an intake swap anyway, ours suck from ford!
