*STR intake manifold / looks good, but...

[PRIMOCB7]

i don't know anyone who has this on their ride, but if anyone does, any feedback would be appreciated. i love how these IMs look, and i'm guessing performance may be just as good as upgraded IMs such as skunk2 or the euro R? but its the price that hurts
here's a pic

its meant to be a turbo manifold... euro-r is your best bet.

i thought this was good for N/A setups too..i always felt these were the best looking aftermarket IM for the H22s, B18s, B16, etc; just a bit costly tho, but would look into buying one if the gains were worth it on a N/A setup, plus the show factor counts too

for the price of the STR (probly less) you can get the euro-r mani. you could also send in your throttle body to be bored out:

this manifold is best suted for turbo applications.

..spoke to jorge(he's maxbore.com). was gonna send my tb to him, but i sent my tb to Fastlane Performance(NY) coz they're gonna retrofit a vacuum fitting and a plate to cover the top of the tb where the map sensor was. and about the STR im, the price is steep, but the finish looks amazing, thats why i want it..but i just hope the performance aspect is there too. i see some are saying its for turbo applications, but i don't see why it can't be used for N/A setups..it has single runner designs

see how its all blocky, that is great for pressurized air cause its large but for NA tuning, you need certain velocity and smoothness within the intake mani, thats just a box with four tubes, not a well tuned smooth Na intake manifold, if that was great for Na then they would use that instead of 4 Throttle bodies.

hey now, dont take your anger out on us... its not our fault you believe everything you hear on h-t. and i think the "stock" euro-r is the best. why do you think people with itr's dont swap the manifold for skunk one... cause its just a copycat. the euro-r is just a type-r manifold for the h22... why would you not use it over some pos skunk.

granted, the gains/loses will vary with each setup, but id much rather take my chances with an oem part over that skunk one. its so obvious that it just a halfass job. they just spit out some shitty manifold cause everyone was bitching about wanting it. whats saddest of all, is that it took them years and thats all they could come up with.

I'm with soysause on this. it looks like it would be sweet on a turbo setup but not so good on N/A. I think the EuroR is better suited for N/A. if you port and polish the E-R I think it could out do most any mani for the H22

well im sorry if i offended anybody,, i just love the manifold,, its a great alternataive to the euro-r,, i have no time , or money to spend modufying a euro-r manifold,, i got my skunk2 ofr 300 shipped,, and im happy with it,,, all im sayin is u cant crack on it,, unless you have it,, i wanted the euro -r real bad ,, its a beautiful manifold,, but shit happens,, and im happy with the skunk2 ,,i got my money's worth,,,
