$1450 is a pretty good deal... If it was $1500 then it would be too much.

that manifold is known to make some decent hp under forced inductions and really shines under all motor aplications, if i was dumping alot of money into my engines, i would definatly get one.

It's endyne, can't really say anything bad about them. They will probably sell about 3 of those. I hear Chris Rado has a pretty good sponsor (his dad) ;D They could afford it. :D haha

i saw a dyno chart on honda tech a while back, it pulled some really good hp numbers over alot of other manifolds.

Extremely "trick".

It will lower intake temps.

If I was rich I would buy one. But, I'm not...So I never will.

If I could, I would. CF intake mani, little heat transfer, light, and high flow. 1500 is a lot but if I really needed the edge I would.

the guy that races the viper... cheese frog has one. I havent seen any of his posts on honda-tech. but I know that guys' enginebay is going to be off the hook.

right now he has a hytech sidewinder turbo manifold, and the air endyn manifold and a big ass turbo, nitrous, and a qtec electronic downpipe cutout.

one badass car.


and supposedmy the power gains are insane off that mani.

uhm...

(1)lightweight
(2)virtually no head transfer (much cooler air going into the chamber)
(3)awesome airflow

now...how is this a waste of money? because you can't afford it so you talk? come on...I bought one and I think its one of the best investment ever (and i paid $1200 for it). Beats $250~300 skank which is made in such poor quality.
