Mike, how much for the Kamikaze header?

RedDragon333, when you do your swap, sell me your KMS IM because you know it'll be a long time until I do my swap! Haha!

Don't waste your cash on the KMS.....it will make your car run like crap down the road. It does nothing but look pretty. Trust me.

How do you know this? This is a brand new Intake Manifold and you are already calling it crap.

Anyways, do you notice any gains?

Are you refering to an aftermarket intake manifold? If so please explain your statment. How will this make our cars run like "crap" It allows more airflow therefore improving the engines performance, how can this make our cars run poorly?

I think we can still purchase them. It's advertised on their site.

I want an explanation on your post..How do you know what kind of gains one would receive with this manifold? And in what way can it make our cars run like crap? I just want some input since you seem to know what you are talking about. Do you have a manifold on your car? Thanks

hmm ... well if you can't feel a difference, then it seems as though there wasn't much of a gain/loss ... correct me if I'm wrong

the butt dyno loses some accuracy after a month.
Its hard to remember exactly how your car felt after not driving it for a while.

yea i feel you. After a few weeks without driving its hard to tell. If he had driven it right before and after it was installed then i think he woud have felt a difference. Hows it sound. Hows it look installed?
