The only way I could see a great manifold not being continued is if it costs more to make than what the market is willing to pay.

well...

Is this question directed at me? The statement that a higher flowing intake will yield very little gain and may loose hp until high rpm is inaccurate. Intake manifolds are not simple flow devices-they are tuned to produce power at specific engine speeds based on the other variables you mentioned (displacement, cam timing etc...) It does not take a bigger or higher flowing intake to make more power, it takes the right design elements. The calculations are extremely complicated for more reasons than I can go into in such a short space. We ran over 100 different combinations before deciding on this one illustrated by the dyno curve provided. Intake design is more than just welding together a plenum, runners and flange.

What calculations are you using for runner diameter and length.

PS-The tuning effect works the same on NA and FI applications.

Well if its a great manifold and profitable, why would Richard stop at just one (short) production run?

Sabretooth · 11-01-2008, 10:52 PM

Well if the production models are well built and sell enough, what says that Garm wouldnt stock them and sell them directly? at a possible discount.

Well then, get signed up...lol

bobobitch · 11-16-2008, 06:47 PM

how much do intake manifolds usually go for for the yaris??? becuase i talked to some of the people from weapon r and they are developing one for the yaris and so far their headers and intakes are pretty bad ass

Nexus1155 · 11-16-2008, 07:25 PM

Weapon R is not Richard Holdener ;)

PETERPOOP · 11-16-2008, 08:20 PM

everyone knows weapon r sucks

TKO · 11-16-2008, 08:38 PM

Say...Do you have anything for the xA/xB yet?

kimo · 01-13-2009, 09:43 AM

I think 1.3L and 1.5L are the same, only diffrent in piston size between them.
Maybe be better ask the dealer.

Did these ever get produced? Any results, feedback from the first 10 customers?

eTiMaGo · 03-21-2009, 12:06 PM

nope, it's all been silent for the past couple months, some people still holding on to a glimmer of hope...

I'm gonna make my own.
