opinions on this badboy?

[undersuspicion]

Hey guys, looking at getting one of these for my ls1, opinions?
VT VY VX LS1 GEN 3 INTAKE MANIFOLD & 85mm THROTTLE BODY | eBay

looks the goods, is it really a 30hp gain though? ive heard intake manifolds to sweet FA...

aluminum intake = more heat....although good for cars with NOS

Have also heard the fuel lines leak

:hmmm: I could be really wrong here... buuuut.... I do not believe that pic in the EvilBay add is a manifold for a LS1, it looks wierd. As I said I could be wrong oke:

Now... if it was me... I would go and get myself a second hand LS6/90mm manifold off a wrecked HSV and it will out perform that disgusting thing.

Now if it's for looks you want... I would still go for a second hand LS6/90mm manifold and go get it chromed for next to nothing and pocket the $5-600 will save than rather than buying what these tutrkeys are selling.

Just my 2c...

can you get them HPC coated like extractors? that would be good

I would personally go the FAST manifolds from the states with the 90mm TB.

With the dollar the way it is, it will probably come out at a similar cost.

VX/VU onwards had LS6/75mm manifolds from factory

LS2 is 90mm

Yep... I stand corrected :lol:

LS1 MAF ID = 75mm
LS1 Throttle Body ID = 75mm
LS6 MAF ID = 80mm
LS6 Throttle Body ID = 80mm
LS2 MAF ID = 90mm
LS2 Throttle Body ID = 90mm
