Mangus Intake Manifold, Good or Not??

Now I will admit that I dont have flow numbers or back to back dyno pulls to back up this statement, but I feel their word should be good enough.
(edit)
The Magnus intake you linked looks promising it seems some of the newer designs as well as the higher price ones (HKS, Jun etc) seem to have the TB angled as the air enters the plenum. Does anyone know what advantage this would serve?
On another note, the Full Race mani (which also has the angled TB) looks VERY nice, and from the pictures I've seen the TB looks to be a spectacular design. It will be very interesting to see how it compares to Magnus or AMS here shortly.

ACTUALLY dynoflash did another change soon after using the AMS intake manifold .... if memory services me correctly ... Al currently uses the HKS intake manifold with a Q45 TB (last time he gave out a list of mods ... that's the intake manifold he was using)
but yes ... he did go from Magnus to AMS to HKS

Well, thanks for clearing that up.. last I had heard that was what he was using. Makes sense though, he seems to change parts pretty often.
I wonder how long it will be before he's using the Full Race piece.

That is one perty intake mani. Looks like a really well enginered piece. And the TB should be well ahead of the accufab etc. ones.
It is pricey but does include IIRC; the manifold, fuel rail, TB, and hardware. so all in all not too bad.
SO.. does anyone know why a lot of the newer designs (FR, JUN, HKS), have the TB angled where it meets the plenum?
