i went to my local shop here in s.d i saw this power plus typhoon intake manifold they want 160 bux for it it does look bigger tahn my stock b16 manifold can anyone tell me if it will give me any power and if so how much... also someone told me putting a bigger itnake manifold will slow me down since i wont be sucking enough air to flow it rite or something let me know if its worth buying

there is no point in having a larger bore intake if you do not already have a CAI to flow more air and header and exhaust to flow it out, also a lil more fuel would need to be supplied to having more air to mix correctly..no big deal really...but unless you have really gotten into some money and have really been high end tuning an intake isnt gonna make a diff..maybe 5hp at full open. so as far as that it wouldnt be worth the money at this time...but that particular intake is junk im sure!! i havent seen it on a car in person..which im sure there is a reason for..see those cheaper intakes and headers like ss autochrome and so forth all crack under pressure and so forth...look at it this way..all intakes such as edlebrock, skunk 2 ets are 300.00+ so why is this one 150.00 ..ya know. you always get what you pay for ! dont waste your time, but when you got alot of mods tuning together and its time for one..then do it right and have a product you can be proud of

i've seen on website's that this same manifold give a b18c5 12 wheel hp and it was BONE STOCK they just changed the manifold

well yes and no, you are getting to the point where a manifold would make a diff in your flow capablities..but as far as that product i dont know....look at it this way, the price of that is half the way to a very efficiant respected manifold..but is also half the price..its up to you..do you want to go economical or do you want the best for your car ????? i would just save up a bit more and get a edlebrock, skunk 2, AC blah blah, check ebay you might find a used one, i know ive seen some skunk 2's on there for around 200 or so ...but to be honest man, i wouldnt get it just because its a cheap product that more than likely wont hold up..but the final decision is yours
