Is an Intake Manifold worth around $300? or would you guys put your $300 towards something else?

thanks

 

some will argue to spend the 300 on other things, I bought the ATS one and feel it was worth it. there are a few more out there now to choose from so if you do decide to go ahead with one, do some research on them all before buying.

 

how do you like your ATS?

my vote is ATS, them CFM, then BANKS?

what you think?

 

Triton says the CFM doesnt heat soak like the ATS manifold does... he's had both. I'm not 100% sure the heat is coming from the engine compartment, if it is, then it would benifit to wrap the intake. not very eye appealing but who cares... when I got mine, there were only 2 options... ATS & Banks. no one had anything good to say about the banks so I went with the ATS. Plus the ATS site provided a dyno sheet on their intake showing a gain at 1700ish rpms... when I installed mine, that was the rpm area where I felt a difference. felt it right away and it impressed me. passing on 2 lane roads was easier as the tranny did not want to downshift nearly as much, telling me I was out of the throttle more while passing.

worth it? I think so... would I do it again, hell yes.

 

Leaning towards the AFE one... looks huge!! Or I may just build my own.

 

Worth it, likely so. Besides installing a programmer, all the small improvements will add up to the entire package showing a substancial gain in performance. I think I'd go with the ATS, but I favorthem as I already have some of their other products. Good luck with your decision and let us know what you think.

 

i am eithe going with the CFM which I can get for 300 or the ATS black that I can get for 330..

thanks yall

 

I like the ATS that I have, it is also handy if you are thinking about installing a water/methsystem as it is already pre tapped. On the stock turbo it seemed like the turbo would spool just a little quicker.

 

good to know...

thanks!
