Probably going to be really hard to find. I'd go with a magnus V5.

 

I'm sure you're right, but I've got some time to wait it out and keep my fingers crossed!

 

Nice username! I just got one luckily. They're out there. This one was sitting in a sealed plastic container in great condition. Good luck!

 

Right back atcha! What part of the country are you in?

Also, where were you able to find yours? Want to sell it? Jk (but not really), ha!

 

Bump. Hoping to find this rare beauty for the race car build!

 

I'm in Colorado!
I never lost mine. I just bought it. Not selling it right now. I'm trying a couple of different ones to see which I like best. Have a Curt Brown ported stock on the car now, a new Skunk2 and this AMS. I was considering the JMF Billet one also.

 

Very cool.

What criteria are you looking for the manifold you'd like to keep? I was also looking at the Skunk2, Magnus, Hypertune, and Plazmaman. I'm not 100% sure why, but the AMS is the one I want. Ha!

Where did you buy yours from? And if you end up considering selling yours by December/January, please let me know

 

I tune Evos for a living and I've seen all the manifolds with the exception of the Hypertune and Plazmaman. The sheer size of the aftermarket manifolds, with the exception of the skunk2 are massive. I don't see much difference in spool up as the size would suggest, but I do see a gains in power with the larger manifolds. Right now I'm seeing a lot of Magnus manifolds on 700+ whp Evos.

So, for me personally, even though I tune mostly drag and street cars (roll racing), I prefer AutoX and road racing. Logically you'd think the larger plenum would be bad for spool at AutoX, but be good for top end on straights at the track. So going off what we read in forums you'd think with my racing disciplines would benefit from the Curt Brown stock mani or the Skunk2. BUT I've been in thousands of Evos and can't really feel or see the difference in spool times that are significant enough to not at least try real world racing testing on the track.

I get most of my used parts from customers. A customer bought a skunk2 from me and sold me his AMS mani.

I'll be starting off with the CB ported stock mani and then work my way up to the AMS. I'll be sure to datalog pulls and track events.

 

We're very much riding the same boat: autocross and road course.

The Skunk2 manifold you'll be testing, is it ported?

Very curious to see your results!

 

Sweet! I find AutoX more exhilarating than drag at equivalent power. Skunk2 isn't ported at the moment. I'll consider porting after trying it out after initial testing. One thing I hate about the Magnus and AMS mani is they put the vac fittings underneath the manifold. I recommend customers plug/weld the holes (except one) and do an AN fitting to a remote vacuum block to set up the rest of the fittings. I'll consider welding all the holes shut under the manifold and welding a 6AN or whatever seems smart to go to a vac block. My VIII doesn't have a brake booster so you may want to keep the large bung for the brake booster. I may have to add it back on if brake performance is bad without the booster.

If you can't find an AMS, then get a Magnus mani. IIRC there was some discussions on the similarities between them.

 

Bump!

 

Big pic hence the spoiler. I have one in Melbourne, FL. I sent you a pm, can't attach pics there so did so here.


 

Bump. Still looking.
