Ugh I crossed my mind.....

[goats21]

Help I can't make up my mind between a JMFAB SMIM or a Magnus!!!!!!

Its making me sick!

I doubt there would be any significant difference in performance gains between the two. And both are well made pieces. I would go with the one that I can could get cheapest, and that is in stock ready to go

 

[goats21]

That's the other problem.....all of them are mostly made to order. I'm tight on time.

Well the sooner you order it the faster it gets in your hands. Ive got the JM Fab Intake and I love it!

I bought the Magnus because it was 360.00 used locally, otherwise if I had no other choice I would have probably got the JMFab piece, looks real nice!

Indeed, I will also be going with a JMF

Magnus has had a ton of manifolds that have cracked but then again they have sold alot more so the chances of them being really old and cracking is higher.

I personnaly know of a 10 sec car that gained 10awhp going from a magnus to a jm fab.

How do you cross your mind?

Ams Vsr!

yeah you want to buy us all one?

Personally I think the JMF has a lot better design with the whole Plenum and the velocity stacks. wtih the Magnus the velocity stacks sit a lot higher up and cause a lot more interference with the air reaching the number one runner. The JMF's sit a lot lower and have a little sleeker profile to them.

if your going to do it, do it once and go with the ams vsr

Can you give specific reasons why? I think you guys are just looking at the price or name of the company. Then saying its got to be alot better because it is made by them or it is more expensive so it has to be better.
I am going ywith the jm fab intake because it has proven itself on some local dsm cars. And evileagle has one also so that proves it is a good choice (he ran nines with it). And I have heard nothing about the magnus except for a few cracking.

How about one with a nice fat Eaton blower bolted to it? http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=253830

Seriously, I think you are making a good choice with the jm fab part. Plus if local guys are using it, you can compare notes on tuning better if more parts are the same.

And most people will never need that.

Bean from TurboTrix switched to a JMfab mani over his magnus and picked up some mph in the quarter. Also, JM's plenum has much less welds than the magnus, less prone to cracking something you dont have.
