Pretty good knockoff though.

I think that you are right, and this is a crap part. I'm sure it would do the job better then the stocker, but thats not hard either. I'd be concerned about the welds would let go at full boost.

Actually a stock intake manifold has been proven to be extermely hard to beat up until ~6500ish. After that you will finally see where the after market ones start to shine.

Exactly, the whole point in this type of manifold is is for high rpm Horsepower. Preferably with cams and a larger turbo.

My 50 Trim would benefit greatly from a manifold like this combined with cams.


BTW. Magnus manifolds blow welds too.....Just happened to a member on the dsmlink forums.

I just sold a stock intake manifold to a guy who owns one of those. It cracked beyond belief.

Thanks for all the insight guys, hopefully this will help people steer clear of buying the thing.

How are hey theifs because it looks like the magnus. How many diffrent type of smims do you think they're are?

There is a guy who just bought this mani and posted some pics of the weld quality.

the first page shows a horrible knock-off compared to this knock-off. It's a pretty interesting thread for those who want to know more about the intake mani. I think the guy is still in the process of testing it...


Also, the main issue with this mani, that they were arguing about, is that there was an article saying that the distributor of these manifolds just bought a lot of them from overseas and is selling them, and doesn't care about the quality because he doesn't care for the dsm community...

I am sorry you feel the need to defend the hacks and rip offs of the dsm community because you buy their CRAP.

A rip off is a rip off no matter how you look at it.

It is often said, copying is the best form of flattery. Even though the thing is a total peice of crap product.
