You will prob gain a little power and that seats of the pants rush. Your car will have a deeper growl. But in order to gain max power form it your car would need a solid tune. You'd have to compensate for all that additional air outside normal ECU adjustment. With a tune you may gain 5-7 whp. I'd by any of them except the one from the Eclipse GT. Too much money and limited avaiability.

i understand the concept behind a larger tb, BUT the way i see it is that even though you may have a larger tb, your maf tube is still only 2.5''... therfore it's not really letting in any more air than the 2.5'' tube can accomodate... am i wrong in the way i'm thinking?? your tb can only suck in the amount of air your maf tube (thats placed before it) can flow....right??

just a thought...please correct me if im wrong...

It's more about flow/volume like the same reason to get a ported intake manifold. But regardless of where or why there is more power, it does work I have it and love it, not to mention around a dozen eclipse owners. And if they notice the hp it has to be real as their cars are 500 pounds more than ours....

So I'd say the 65mm tb and the RRM intake manifold would be a good combo to match the short ram intake? Thus removing any restrictions with the air coming in.

I think RRM only port matches the IM ports. The inlet port for the TB on the IM will still be 3mm small. Just buy the on Endeavor TB which is 63mm and you'll be fine. Save yourself some bucks as well.

Agreed as that's the combo I have

As for the rrm p&p intake manifold, it's ported about 3-4 inches through the runners.

And darewood that will bolt up, they aren't showing you the whole thing in that pic. There are 2 more holes up top. I'll post up a pic....

Yea...I was able to get a seller with a GT to drop their price 20$ But the endeavor one only 5. I'll go with the endeavor.

But my last question...What kind of gasket is needed? can I use the one for the stock or do I need one for the endeavor?
