Reaction: WOW

Got the m50 manifold installed after weeks of waiting, and the gaints are AWESOME! I was first scared that i wouldn't be able to feel the difference, but they are DEFINATELY noticeable! I can't even tell if there is a loss in low end torque at all (probably because of my slipping clutch), but once its past 4000 it just keeps PULLING all the way through redline! Now all that's in my way is a shark injector so I can raise the rev limit, but that'll have to wait til after cams

the manifold before the install

i don't really notice any...just my idle is a lot smoother now and it's just loud as shit at WOT due to the constant pull

Take it off before it explodes!!

I bet that m50 manifold really helps alot, the OBD2 manifold is rediculous!

I just got an exhaust and noticed a slight difference, it would be great to see the big gains this would give me. Maybe after I save up for new tires.

Very nice. I remember when I did it on my 328, great mod.
