Intake Manifold for NA Applications

JARblue · 02-12-2020, 10:51 AM

There isn't one. The stock manifold has proven itself over and over against a number of challengers.

Basically, the aftermarket manifolds are not worth the money for NA. The power gains are minimal (or negative). You'll need a lot more modifications to gain anything of note. But by the time you get there, you might as well have considered a basic SC or turbo kit.

Yeah I figured haha. I'm looking into SC but honestly I dont see anything other than Stillen and I'm not sure how they are, since I haven't read or seen anyone with them besides one or two guys on Youtube. Sucks the NA class cant make decent power with bolt on mods and tune. I mean, maybe, but I'm looking at a range where it'd be cheaper to boost lol. 525-600whp range.

Top gunz has an awesome SC Kit. Forget the Stillen. There’s an entire thread in the FI forum dedicated to his newest offering.

Just don’t get yours before I get mine!

Yeah I seen his thread. Didn't he swap out the Stillen manifold for the OEM one? Ayee you're gonna SC yours? Excited for you lol, I'm in a huge debate going back and forth if I should remain NA with a ton of bolt ons or SC.. decisions, decisions lol. I personally never wanted my car to be FI but lately I've been really into FI and wondering what it can be lol
