Uber modified stock evo intake manifold vs DI SMIM

**Goat Blower** · 09-23-2008

Those new pics must be the V0 or whatever, because it is obviously not cut in half and welded back together and the porting looks to be done just through the main inlet. I'd like to see that exact manifold tested side by side with a stock one and stock TB, I betcha differences are minimal.

The old guys will remember the big fuss over extrude honing 1G manifolds and the big price tag for that. Later testing revealed almost no gains whatsoever, but Buschur sold a load of them. Hmmmm, history repeats itself?

+1 No way in hell I'd pay $1000 for an extrude honed manifold when AMS VSRs are $900.

The guy that posted those pics said they were v2's, so they would be the ones that were torn apart and re-welded. From all the pics, you cannot tell it has been done, they are shot peaned afterwards.

Anyways, Steve, check post #19 here for a close comparison to what you are requesting.
