The one and only reason I see why their intake manifold package is cheaper, is because of parts availability. 4g93 intake manifolds, fuel rails and tb can be found in scrap yards by the dozen and baught for a dime a pound.
If you buy an apple, you won't pay the same price for an orange. If you buy a 4g94 IM, you won't pay the same price you would for a 4g93 IM.
And for what it's worth... I have a 4g94 bored Intake Manifold I need to get rid of if anyone is interested.

I believe someone else has gotten and installed their A2 manifold, but a stage 2. I am awaiting my stage 3 (twin throttle body) and will post results as soon as I get it.
Gimmick? Whatever.

It does flow better. When Mitsu designed the Intake Mani for the Lancer they made it not as free flowing. I've noticed a slight mur mur when idling but over all the power is much better from stock. From my understanding from those who know, Mirage tuners, the 4g93 is a better manifold for maximum airflow. There is only one better and thats with going with a custom Intake setup.
Also you don't need to tune anything as it mates up with your engin perfectly...

Look that the above threads and make your own mind up, also contact prench. He will give you the details on his products.
all i've got to say is........Shame on RRM

First off I was referring to DUal throttle body setup. That is the one I was referring to. Did not know you had any other ones available. Don't start the shame on me thing either. Here is the question..... How do you tune your dual throttlebody setup? ANd correct there is not a lot of info out there lile how that is all going to work or a dynos. Elighten me please. NOt starting a war just making sure you explain fully how that works before people send their money and then realize they have to spend more just to make it run right.

[QUOTE=jeemybo]... I paid $200 shipped for that and the fuel rail (which hasn't arrived yet). And no core charge crap. This is a phenomenal deal. And Philip has been superb with email correspondence as well.

The reason there's no core charge on them is that he's not expecting your G94 core in exchange for a G93 core. The price of the core is included in your purchase.
Honestly, I would expect an increase in prench's prices as things heat up. When I was doing mine I could get manifolds for about $50 but it became very difficult to source manifolds for less than $80 each by the time I stopped doing them. Plus he'll pay to get them shipped to his place and some yards won't sell to you without a resellers permit.
People weren't interested in the manis I was porting when the price got near the $200 mark, so good for him for being able to get these produced.
