I'm going mostly for looks and the Skunk2 one looks very clean. Anyone know if there are any other intake manifolds out there that look good and hook up 100%?
Skunk = Junk? For the most part, I agree with you. I would never use Skunk in my engine. However, I do have the Skunk2 IM, and it makes a huge difference over stock. I am very happy with it. The only thing about BlackTrax is their quote of "Please stay tuned as we are about to provide you with a stock 1998 H22A4 Honda Prelude dyno plot." I have read that for months on end, and am still waiting to see the dyno plot. I can only conclude that the gains were so small, they did not want to post the results. I might be wrong, but wheres the dyno???
I do not have pics yet. My digital camera is broken. I can get a buddies camera, and put up some pics. I also use the Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket, which blocks the EGR. I had a CEL one time for the EGR. I cleared it, and since have had no problems. Im not sure about how much HP, some say 8. That feels about right. I am very happy with the Skunk2 IM.
I run a p28 w/ Hondata - would I be correct in assuming this won't throw a CEL?
IM's installed - had to use a 5th gen TB where the MAP sensor is plugged in at the top as there was no clearance behind the IM for the stock 4th gen MAP that resided on the firewall.
