"Professional Installation Recommended on this Product" I read this as "Doesn't fit well, needs fabrication to work well..."
Wirelessly posted (TELECA-/2.0 (BREW 3.1.5; U; EN-US; SAMSUNG; SPH-M800; Teleca/Q05A/INT) MMP/2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) nah, they have that disclaimer on almost everything they sell. I am almost tempted to pick one up since it is so cheap.
I do have to say I have LONG wondered why intake manifolds on 4 cylinders cost 10x more than you can get them for domestic muscle....I mean go open a summit racing catalog and you will find quite the selection for domestic v-8's starting at around $125 and there are probably over 1000 different kinds and brands with varying power bands, etc. I realize part of it is the shear fact that they have been around longer, have the castings, etc but still. $125 vs $2000 is still kind of ridiculous.
It looks quite a bit better than any Magnus I've ever seen. Those flanges look like they might even be flat For the price, I'd be interested to see a back-to-back test. It is shiny Siegel
Siegel, let us know if you guys get one for testing I have contacted a guy I know that works there to see if he has seen one in person and what he thought of it.
It's missing a few thing so there will certainly need to be some fabrication. There is no pcv bung or place to mount the coolant tank. Not a big deal for rotated setups.
just maybe 1. there seem2 to be 4 holes for fitting and one can be used for PCV 2. on one of the pics there is a faint view of a side hole for mounting bracket Im not familiar with heat treating but if the flanges were machined flat after welding than its a good thing
Unless you are only looking to make power above 5000 rpms I would skip it, its an exact copy of the magnus I used to have and even those didn't work that well. Its just a bad design
