Skunk2 Intake Manifold
Has anyone ever installed the skunk2 intake manifold for the TSX?

If they have, how was it?

I've spoke to Skunk 2 about this product many times and have some info...

Honestly, dont even buy it if you don't plan on doing the head. Your only really going to game with this IM if you have some beefy parts in the head (cams, springs valves...) Skunk 2 says for the TSX, running either the RBC or the other one (popular one can remember) will be just fine for the K24a2 motor. And if you do go that route, get a K20a or K20a2 head (same head, diff engines) becuase you get a nice higher flow at higher RPM.

Ya know, my .02 on the topic lol

there are a few threads on k20a.org where ppl have done dynos with it. there wasn't any substantial advantage over the RBC to justify the additional cost.

In their defense, Skunk2 says that the engine needs to be built more for gains. Who knows...
