Hey guys, got a boosted y8 i wanna upgrade my intake mani but im mixed on edelbrock or skunk2. im originally a v8 guy so edelbrock was the way and heard skunk was good for tuners but when comes to amani, iveresearchedand found mixed. any suggestions?

 

Edelbrock defiantly. I have heard of skunk2's hitting the firewall. Edelbrock has been around a lot longer and has more money to spend on research and development, and since you are originally a muscle guy you already know that they are a good company.

 

what about Blox? Are they any good?

 

I think I heard that they are made in the same building as skunk2's, I can't say how credible that is though. I don't like them either.

 

I would go with Edelbrock ,even just by name alone. they might be new to the sport compact scene in relation to they're V8 and musclecar work, but they have the know-how and R&D to make some great parts. I haven't used their civic manifold, but i've seen them and they look like solid pieces. I have used their chevy manifolds, heads and their thunder AVS carbs and they were all great products.

 

just another idea...i have a VENOM intake manifold on my 97 ex...like 650$ its great i love it

 

I've seen them for $550, seems like a lot for a box of aluminum with runners welded on.

 

edelbrock, i have heard and seen multiple coolent fittings pop out on the skunk2 manis

 

^ Happened to my D series one, had to send it back for a new one.

Edle is a nice manifold.....its even got a spot for extra injectors for a nice wet nitrous setup. However, look for a used one, as they are pretty expensive.

 

I would get an edelbrock one but with my v2 the angled throttle body would cause a problem with fitment plus it has those bungs on the back of it so it would make a nitrous setup kind of a pain in the *** having get get under the car to change the jets.
