Skunk2 Intake manifold Review
#122
#123
Well i have read all the posts on the skunk2 manifold and did some research on my own also. According to skunk the original batch of these manifolds were casted incorrectly, so i waited for a while for them to fix the flaws. I just installed the skunk 2 on My 06, evo9 and it fit almost perfectly, the only thing i had to do was pull the clamp off the coolant hose going into the head, everything else fit fine. I am planning on dyno testing next month so i will post the results. would do it sooner but my car is getting fitted with some HKS final drive 4.11s

You know buschur did a big test and write up a couple years back IN DSPORT on all the big manifolds at that time. I think they need to do a fresh new test on all the latest manifolds! HINT, HINT

HMM.. I wonder which version I have, the ports matched up exactly on point for me, I bought mine in July of 2009, I noticed mine was barely different around the throttle body area then a earlier one i saw the beginning of 2009. I hope I dont have the defective one LOL!

another good option would be the map rev3.. it makes great mid range power.

yes thats a good choice. the only other 2 id be willing to put on my car would be a magnus v5 or a ams f1i, which both require different upper piping. the map rev3 does the job and is semi stealth looking also.
