wow. From a review to smack talk. I'm sure it will be cleared up by norming. Sorry to hear about the Skunk2 IM.

I'll keep my BR ported stocker with Mil Spec TB : )

For those of you with issues with Skunk and dislikes of Wilson, you really should check out MAGNUS V5 manifolds. We have an unmatched deal on them for this week only.

Made 30+whp with a substantial boost leak on a stock TB. We will be retesting this week for potentially better gains.

I know it's a good price but I just took a quick glance and it doesn't look like a direct Bolton

There is no machining required to bolt it on.

Skunk2 definitely dropped the ball on the evo market with their TB and IM. I will give them one redeeming credit though for their coilovers which are pretty nice and constructed very well, or as can be expected for a medium grade coilover system.

ETS has an IC pipe kit which is now designed to work with the Magnus V5!

There are only 2 Manifolds I personally would endorse.. Both depend on your Budget and goals..

Buschur Ported w/ 65mm TB as tested to 9.14 on My RS..

Driven Innovations Sheetmetal tested to 8.75 & 166.8mph...

Those are 2 manifold setups depending on your budget that you cannot go wrong with.. Sad to see skunk didnt do their homework testing their unit before releasing it to us and making us Beta testers..

The dynotesting results before and after with a MAGNUS manifold on a typical street car with a/c and all can be found here:

There are also detailed pictures of installation and tips contained in the thread.

Shortly we will have before and after results of the 75mm throttle body from Boomba.

Stay tuned.

I take Mustang Dyno #'s with a grain of salt.. When the car runs a time and MPH then i can say to myself , YES it must have dyno'd that #.. No disrespect but i dont beleive any # on an MD or DD dyno sorry.. Much to easy to manipulate.. Trap Speeds DONT LIE...

Mike, Which intake manifold did you run on the RS when you ran 8's?

We ran the Wilson Manifold Back then.. Im very confident we could have gone 8's even with the Buschur Ported.. We made several changes after it ran 9.14 but the wilson was given to us free to use at that time..

Therefore coming forward to today I would suggest the Buschur Ported with 65mm for those with low 9sec goals.. And Driven Innovations for those with 8sec and/or 165+mph goals..

Mike

There are many good manifolds out there, most definitely.

The only mani I can think of which seemed to have many public issues was the SMIM from Weapon R.
