RE: Intake manifold

["Marc Brown" <Mad_One@msn.com>]

A ported and polished intake manifold from EIP costs $750 with exchange.  The 
VSR (VW Motorsports intake), I believe is still available through Ron's Parts 
in Canada, but it will cost you over $3000.  The Shrick VGR intake is 
available and will run you about $2000.  The Shrick intake has shown to 
provide more hp and torque in tests vs. the VSR intake, as long as the valve 
timing is set correctly.  EIP's intake does have any variable valves, but it 
probably has the best airflow of the three.  It doesn't provide as much 
torque, but it does a good job on the high end hp.

Hey guys,

With all this talk of airflow, I started thinking about the intake
manifold itself. On average, what does it cost to have the factory
intake ported and polished?

And what ever happened to that VW Sport after market performance intake
that VW had available from Germany?  I heard rave reviews about it way
back when. But I haven't heard squat in a while.  I know the darn thing
ran around $2000 dollars. But I heard it gave the car some viscous
torque!

Later,

Joe
