Magnus Intake

That looks a lot like the DSM Race manifold Magnus made a couple years ago. The owner of Modern Automotive Performance used to have one. Didn't know Marco made them for the Evo. Magnus stuff rocks!

IN FACT, HERE IS THE THREAD I POSTED A LINK TO IN ONE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED FECES-CHUCKING CONTESTS (people seemed to prefer drama to additional 3rd party data):

However, we may have some more test results here soon for you...but no definite time table.
Besides, are you trying to tell me you're giving my comment a hard time as opposed to third-party hearsay about the Magnus piece being a POS from someone's friend? Are you serious?

No I don't... BUT... I would not post in a thread about a product and say I "like" it without knowing if the part helped or hurt me. Take for example the custom spec Piper cams I run. I've never said anything good or bad about Pipers because they went in my car with a new built motor. So maybe they suck compared to the competition I don't know. That was my point.

I'm not trying to be argumentative. I run the Magnus Race. If someone says they like it, I'm gonna assume they tested it to some degree. Turns out it seems you have not tested it, much less run it. I just wanted clarification.
I'm switching to the HKS inlet soon and will test that swap no other changes.

I posted data for the Weapon-R, which is VERY SIMILAR in design to the Magnus. I have seen charts for the Magnus (I have the delta gains charts, but I can't find them at the moment) for a local shop owner who runs our throttle body and the Magnus. Based upon what I've seen with regards to past performance, I am extrapolating what I expect to see when I put the Magnus on. If we took the narrow approach that you seem to be taking, no one would have a clue as to what a turbo back would do until they "tested" it and put it on their car.
