I was looking for some 420a parts on ebay and i came across this generic intake manifold.. just wanted to post it up to let people know that there is a cheap alternative then the OBX route.. save about 100 dollars

Those welds look horrible!!! Looks like an accident waiting to happen...were those MIG welded?

My condolences to anyone who uses that manifold.

There is a whole list of supporting vendors who make quality products specifically for DSM's; in some cases, they custom fabricate whatever it is you need to your specifications. Granted, these things cost a little more, but honestly, when I compare a JMFab intake manifold to something found on Ebay (like the one above), the choice is VERY clear to me, even on my poor excuse for a budget. Wow...

True, but as far as I know, JMFab, nor any of the other vendors currently offer an intake manifold for the 420A.

MrBoxx · 10-06-2008, 10:08 PM

True, and I understand that the 420a doesn't have as much vendor support as the 4g63. But I dislike how people will support inferior products made by companies who could care less about the cars they're put on, simply because they're cheaper. It seems to be a disease afflicting DSM'ers of all types, both 420a and 4g63 drivers alike. I was just using JMFab as an example.

eclipse RS-T · 10-06-2008, 10:10 PM

??! is that the same qaulity as the venom or obx? ive owned the obx, and the welds didnt look as bad as that.

Diamondrev · 10-07-2008, 12:08 AM

I agree that the welds dont look great.. but i think it would be good for someone who is n/a.. probably not good at all for boosted applications..

sorry man but someone like me and probably alot of other 420a guys dont have 450 dollars to spend on a JMFab intake manifold... if we had 4g63's that is..

as far as i know there are only 2 other IM's that are available for the 420a venom ($500) and obx ($200)..

You can go in between that and get an AMM (All Motor Mike) intake. Great quality and it works really well.

Diamondrev · 10-07-2008, 04:28 AM

only a flow bench would tell me that....... im under the impression that if u could work some good full radius velocity stacks onto the stock runners that it would yield a little more cfm.
