Go with Buschur no questions asked. Lot of people are making so much power on ported one plus no need to worry about cracking. If you don't have a ported head, do that as well if you can, that should help you along with the intake manifold.

Maybe stock one doesnt look good as much as an aftermarket one but it surely works well and better.

i would go with a stock ported one and just spend the extra money on something else

but i'm sure a sheet metal intake manifold with veloscity stacks will make more power than a stock ported one

Do not touch it. I had one and it cracked. Was replaced and welds cracked again. Just junk.

Ok, so here's my data (ok, technically it's someone else's data):

Nice this is the first time I've ever seen or heard about the Weapon R intake manifold. Anyone else have a real first hand experience with this manifold?

There were some quality problems IIRC. However, I think the issues are solvable with some TLC.


I don't know if I'd buy a new one, however, I may purchase a used one if one shows up

Really?

at least all 4 runners are of the same length vs. oem. let alone that the air-horns are of a decent design, albeit a small eliptical flare, but very effective....much better than the mitsu hurdles that are placed within the oem plenum..

i have seen far uglier intake (dyno dev. only) set-ups make great power on the dyno.

i look forward to putting my weapon-r, rewelded, fluffed & buffed manifold on my evo & conduct some logs.

i agree, this manifold is nowhere near as sexy as the ams unit, but i feel the weapon-r manifold will get the job done within the rpm range that i plan on twisting my oem rod bolted engine along with my fp-grn.....i cant wait...but have too

Weapon R was never known for making great products based on what I saw for parts when I owned an integra.

Speaking of intake manifolds, what about the Magnus one, I think Vboy has or had the Magnus at one point. What are the numbers on that Manifold?
