looking to buy an IM... - Honda Prelude Forum

So I have a built bottom end, stock head, and turbo, of course. My question is this: JG Sheet metal IM or Blacktrax? The advantages speak for themselves for both of these, the JG having more just because of how cool a custom sheet metal intake looks. However, the Blacktrax price includes boring the stock throttlebody, the JG one doesn't

PRices are: $550 for JG sheetmetal intake manifold or $375 + core for Blaclktrax...

For your guys info, i don't really care for skunk2 products overall, therefore their mani is not a consideration, plus the fact i STILL haven't seen any dyno proof on them.

Once again, thanks for your support and help!!

People have made 400+ on the stock manifold. I just don't see the point of upgrading it.

I wouldn't go w/ the blacktrax as the plenum size is just too big overall. Stock works fine, but if I had to choose one I'd actually choose a Golden Eagle piece.
