Has anyone here came across a performance intake manifold for our cars? I have been searching like crazy for one with no luck. Or has anyone even had a custom one fabricated for them? I would really like to do something along those lines for myself. Any info on this would be helpful. Thanks

Never heard of 1.
There have been a few custom jobs for NOS, intercooler & turbo setups.

how much HP roughly do you think the gain would be? I was guessing aroud 15-20 with a cold air setup already installed. I mean we would definitly gain some stuff from one. correct me if im wrong.

i dont see the need for one unless you are going forced induction. n/a our manifolds are very effecient with a port and polish.

CLSpeedster

oh they are port polish already huh. ok thats more or less what i was looking for. Im planning to keep it N/A for awhile.

Thanks guys

No... they aren't "port polish" already.

What other mods do you have? There's a lot of stuff I'd do before working on the intake.

depending on if you have auto or 6 spd, id remove the VSA, bore the TB, and PnP the intake manifolds. i personally think thats good for another 10 or so to the wheels even tho many disagree.

Save your money and get a Supercharger.

id actually like to stay N/A. and i still want my warrenty to be honored. what do you guys think would be a good route to get some more ponies while still keeping with the warrenty? whats boring the TB take to do/cost roughly & a PnP to the manifold
I like my VSA in the winter, i had a close call once

its an auto by the way

Cold-air intake, headers, UR pulleys, thermoblock spacers, etc, etc.

Looks like you have all that already.

Don't waste your money on anything else. It's a quickly depreciating car.

intake, headers, pulley, spacers, exhaust, are all excellent and 'easy' to start.

next go with weight savings: wheels, battery, lighten the car up anyway you can. no need to go overboard. 100 lbs is easily shaved.

after that if you still itch for more, send your TB to king and get it bored, port/polish your upper/lower intake manifolds, and remove the vsa. expect about 10 or so whp.

that's the best advice i can give you without breaking the bank too much.

ps my hiflow cat is doing wonders for me.

you think boring the TB and P&P on the manifolds will kill my warrenty? and about how much does King charge for that? hopefully less than $5 hundo??

thanks fellas

warranty... i doubt they would really know. no reason for them to take off the intake manifolds. king i believe charges 150 for the TB bore. and i would guess if you sent them all your stuff you'd be spending about 400-500 w/ shipping charges.

WOW youre really trying to get some ponie huh fella I'd say go ahead and spray some haha if you want some boost go head and spray IMO.

CLSpeedster

yah fella i am. i don't realy see whats so funny though. just rying to gather some ideas and see whats good.

thanks clean for the ideas i think im gonna save a little for that p&p and bored TB. Anyone know when those cams are gonna be ready???
