Finally... My Needswings Manifold are installed!
Finally... My Needswings Manifold are installed!
After a business lunch today, and the first time driving the car since Thanksgiving, I decided to install my Needswings Intake Manifolds and Y-Pipe. Install is straight forward and very easy. Rob includes all the new bolts you need and 4 extras needed if you use plenum spacers (which i did). His gaskets are perfectly cut and will seal the spacer a lot better then the stock ones. Here are a few pictures.
The pictures does not show it to well, but the manifolds are quite a bit larger
This shows the height difference and extra volume
Heres the manifolds installed
And the Needswings CAI back on.... Stock pulley/front engine cover does rub on the drivers side manifold so I added it to my Box-O-Stock parts

glad you got them on, grab the tune from inmotion and hang on! i see you have one of the lighter of the cai's and darker of the IM's or it may just be the lighting/flash, i got that handled for ya, i'll chat with you more about that on aim tho
btw, be careful with the overflow, if those zip ties break the can can fall into the belt

Quick review of what I noticed driving it back to storage. I lost 2psi of boost but my airflow sky rocketed from about 260gms/sec to over 320gms/sec and then I let off because 100mph in a 45mph zone was little excessive. My bottle neck now is the stock exhaust..... Im more then confident that the VE of the intake side is well above the VE of the stock eaton.

Did you happen to check real close to see how tight your hood with the insulation is when closed? The reason I ask is that mine is very tight just with the larger spacers and stock mani's. It burries itself into the hood insulation. You could trim the insulation a bit. You may want to check this so you don't put undo pressure upward on your hood and cause a slight buldge.
