Several members have the hughes manifold. ALL of them like it.

 

im wondering because this manifold gets rid of the plenum issue all together. correct?

 

Correct.

 

cool. thanks. still would like to hear from guys that have it already. from what im reading the noticeable difference is from 2500-5000 rpm. most of my driving is 1500-2300 so im not sure if i should hold off on this and get something else. haha i need input!! im waiting patiently though

 

The hughes intake lets the engine breath better, so, at higher RPM, the difference is indeed more noticeable. However.... With complimentary mods, (headers, bored throttle body, etc.) you pick up power throughout the RPM range. Including down low, where you do most of your driving.

 

I installed this intake last fall. Here's a thread I did

Love the intake. Most noticeable difference is around 2500 rpm but I don't have headers or roller rockers on yet. My other mods are a bored throttle body, high flow cat, side exit exhaust, sct tuner. Truck runs like a beast with this intake on there and it looks great on the engine. And it's all one piece so no more gaskets or aluminum plates to mess with. If you plan on doing additional modding your engine in the future, get this intake.

 

+1 on it being a good manifold.
As noted, by itself, you loose some bottom end, but with headers, exhaust, etc, you get it back, plus some.
In the interim, I just started revving a little higher before shifting, to hit the sweet sport.
For casual driving this isn't necessary.

Do a site forum for "Airgap", you should find plenty commentary on them.
