Z1 ported intake, worth it??

From a tuner himself he said it all depends on your setup, I personally watched a dyno that the motordyne intake manifold made less power than the OEM manifold. All

It should technically. Motordyne is just an HR upper. Longer runners should make more low end but less up top than a short runner mani. Should be as simple as that. HR is a good 2" longer on each runner. So what it really depends on is what kind of power you want and where you want that power at for whatever it is you're building for.

I would say no, get an exhaust first. If you are worried about your noise level, get a factory Nismo exhaust that someone has replaced.

I would say no it’s not worth it. To gain 8-14 whp for all the labor and coin spent to install the Z1 ported intake manifold is not really worth it from what I have seen. I agree with Spooler start with your exhaust first.

It's actually pretty cheap/easy to install this part, personally I thought it was worth it - especially if you can get it on sale. Edit: Only applies to the Z1 mani, didn't think the M370 was worth the cost.
