Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. Life is about learning how to dance in the rain
i'm getting a "test" one, according to this local shop, in the middle of next month.
If they are lying to me, i'm gonna be really pissed off.

The skunk 2 IM is nothing special for a turbo settup. There already exist some IM for the H22. STR, Venom to name some. They would perform better than the Skunk 2 under turbo. The question is how the S2 performs under NA conditions. I'm getting it once it comes out.

Yeah.. i talked with bailey. He said he was gonna get me one before they are offically released as a "test unit" to make sure it bolts up ok, and installation goes ok as well....
if he is bull****ting me, i'll be very upset because i'm really looking forward to getting it.

Originally posted by Hyojiggy so... this intake manifold thing.... just replacement part for the stock? how is it so different that gives about 15 HP?? anyone know how it works?
go look at the oem one....its not straight at ALL..the skunk is straight and bigger....its just like the type S only straight
it is a single stage manifold. The ports are really smooth, and free flowing. No sharp angles or any crap like that. Also is ready to accept a large bore throttle body(IE Type R). When you put on this manifold, it will be a GREAT add on to get the Hondata Intake Manifold Spacer, to keep the intake cool at all times

dohcpower------youre stock IM accepts an overbored TB, so what would make the Skunk2 any different?
but I will probably get on of these as well as a test thing since they know that I have been calling them biweekly to see when they will be released. The only thing that will keep me from getting it is if I get my JRSC before it is released. If I do stumble upon one of these IM, then it will be ported and polished before it goes on my car. A little more never hurt......too much.
