Hey I'm thinking about picking up an RBC maniflod this week from clubrsx.com they have the best deal. I was just wondering what kind of increse in power I would see. I have the Rev Hard kit and a skunk2 70mm exhaust. I am putting down 280whp/255wtq on a mild street tune what do you think I will see with this installed and a dyno tune?? Thanks for the help!!!!!

ClubRSX has the best price for a mani? Not even close! They sell the unmodified mani for 218$ and you can get the same mani from Honda for 182$

Do not forget you will need either a Karcepts adaptor, or a Hybrid Racing TB.



With portmatching you should see some nice gains.

Yea they do have the best deal it come's modified with a karcepts adaptor and all TB gasket's including shipping!! Belive me I looked around and Honda want's $182 plus 30 for shipping then I will have to pay for everything else includeing to get it modified! I won't be getting it port match cause I don't want to. I do plan on running 12psi though.

Without portmatching you will leave significant whp undeveloped, but at least it will give you room for future fiddling and modification.

30$ for shipping? look around and you can find someplace closer with better shipping costs.

Though for the guy who doesnt have access to the grinder to modify the mani, or have the skills, it is not that bad of a deal, just that I would rather buy the grinder and do the work myself for the same cost.

I hear you on that but i would just rather buy it ready to bolt on.

Increase psi and 3" pipe you will gain 15whp

sorry to change the topic but i was just wondering what everyone thinks of the skunk2 intake manifold vs. the rbc modified one. I haven't used a rbc one yet but I did notice slight gains with the skunk2 one.

fleece-bay is riddled with knockoff junk2 manis, I have seen some very lowgrade knockoffs already.

i mean other than cost wise, i ordered direct from skunk2 back in the day so im pretty sure its not fake.
