Buschurs factors involved a personal problem with me. Before the test He stated to me over the phone that he wanted to "sink my business".

I suppose you can see why every intake manifold made power in the test but ours. Yet there are hundreds of happy evo customers all over the world running it.

^there it is.

This kind of stuff needs to stop happening.

People generally hate what they can't understand.



I will now go port my stock manifold in the corner....

The MFQ Evo that has won the overall Modified Class in the past 2 Redline Time Attack Events runs a Magnus manifold. No cracking, breaking or blowing up...just results. (looks like Charlie beat me to it)

Aby at MIL.SPEC runs a modified Weapon-R intake manifold, that is similar in design to the Magnus unit. He has shown gains above 5500rpms with minimal losses below.

The evidence is out there if you want to look (or if you can bolt one up to your own car and take a look at AFR's, etc).

I have a Magnus waiting to go on my car. I was going to do a back-to-back test to "prove" the manifold, but I don't know if I want to pay to have this done. It makes more sense for me to throw a new head on at the same time, which means there would be no back-to-back results versus a ported stocker.


Cheers

I've seen several cars here in Socal running the Magnus Manifold with positive results.

I'm sure there would be extremely different results if a 3rd party did the test.

I am glad there are a lot of guys out there thining positively. I have the intake manifold here we tested, the original design. It's for sale, anyone who wants it just dial the number. $375 is what I paid for it off of Ebay, that's what you can have it for.

so is it a real magnus, or the 2g design knock of with magnus stamped on it? I know you got confused on this before.

Erik, I will be doing it somewhat back/back, but mine will be 2 weeks apart, but the boost wont change, just the tune if it leans out up top.

you should send it out to Paul to test, if your test was the real deal you should have nothing to worry about. Let us solve once and for all who is right and who is wrong.

Don't be scared David, I want to see this.

If you send it to paul or someone in the northwest, hell i would even do it, i will provide the dyno time and what ever else is needed, let us prove you right david...unless for some reason you think the results wont be in your favor, then just say you need to sell it for cash right now

If its such a piece of ****, why are you trying to make so much off of it?

You seem to take every kind of payment, what about 300 food stamps, ive been stashing away.




Deal or no deal?
