Review: PPI Ported Intake Manifold
I recently decided to pull the intake mani and get it ported. PPI had a great price for the porting so i decided to give them a try. I am VERY happy with the results.



I am using the stock TB but it was ported for a 65mm if i ever upgrade.


All ports are gasket matched. the gasket in the pic is off a bit but they all matched perfectly.


All in all i am very happy with the manifold. I also added a hondata thermal gasket to keep the heat out of the manifold.

-Mike

Removal process is a PITA. I give if it an 8/10 difficulty rating.

looks good but you should have gotten the TB done at the same time. It's kind of like buying an exhaust but leaving the stock downpipe and stock cat on.

PPI has some very nice pricing compared to other vendors, and their rep for porting is up there as well.

PPI deffinately does very nice work for the right price I had my intake mai, throttle body, and exhaust mani ported by them last spring, all came out exactly as expected. Customer service was great as well Wayne was always quick to answer my emails.
