has anybody heard of the new aebs intake manifold? i'm sure some have, and its shaking up the scene with decent dyno #'s and wicked price.

it makes about 8-10whp over skunk2/itr and does not lose a gram of tq. check it out and leave some opinions.

not to shabby

Heard of it but different intake manifolds perform depending on the mods done to the car.

Reading what an article in a magazine and what their HP claims are of the product don't necessarily translate to your specific application.

When the JG IM came out it claimed an increase of 41 HP!!! While true they did not mention it was in a Forced Induction application.


You could conceivable get 7-8 HP difference by doing other mods rather than changing your whole IM. But if you are getting a great deal on the AEBS one then go for it.

yes, we're familiar... it's not a new dog BTW

the dyno that i saw was tested on an ITR, so 8-10whp on an ITR is very impressive. yeah you can get 6-8hp elsewhere, but we all know that it takes alot $. the point i'm tryiong to make is, if this intake makes 8-10whp over a skunk2, then, you're gain in the three most important area. whp, wtq and money. this intake is $254CDN, that's about $200 cheaper than the skunk2.

when i say new dog, i'm not talkin about the company. are you trying to accumulate posts, or something? thanks for letting me know that, Barbie.

barbie LOL

i could probably get some piping and some scrap metal and weld together an intake manifold that would increase my cars performance too....

I'd still want a carbon fiber intake manifold from a dude super interested in flow and fuel atomization...

that is one sexy manifold

Nova_Dust

How would CF Manifold hold up to heat? Doesn't the engine bay get quite hot?

imported_gatherer

it's been holding up just fine apparently... the manifold doesn't get hot because of the gaskets that are heat transfer resistant.... or something like that

Nova_Dust

So they are lighter and heat resistant. Nice

imported_gatherer

how little you know... flow ability is the most important part of a intake manifold and Larry (a.k.a the old one) is the most flow obsessed person I've seen....

Nova_Dust

So how does CF increase flowability? It has bigger diameter or what?

imported_gatherer

CF doesn't do that at all ... it's about the design .. the shape of the air passenges.... diameter is not as important as dynamics....

Nova_Dust

I see. I suppose this CF manifold don't come cheap?

imported_gatherer

no but it's the best kept secert out there .. it flows the best.. nothing beats it....

imported_nautica_t

saw a post on honda-tech about this manifold...its like a massive post..
heard it gives good gains..but than again, i hear alot of good things..let me put it on my car and we'll see how much gains

this intake manifold only seems to be useful for FI or juice applications, it mentions nothing for an NA application and both Skunk2 and the ITR were meant more towards the NA application, so to compare the three manifolds together in the same test of either NA or FI, the results are obviously going to fair better on one or the other
