Skunk 2 inlet/dc sports manifolds

It is all well and good the Skunk IM being under £200, you will still need £700+ in bits to get it to work (throttle body + ECU + tuning etc...).

Just realised who it is selling them. I had to resist buying their last brand new Aero Dynamics bonnet last year as they were clearing it for £300. I just wasn't ready for it, but their end of line stuff is always a bargain it seems

I got my skunk2 mani for £225

from somewhere in ireland I think

needs to come with the extra bits for the IACV

but also needs aftermarket ecu and throttle body, port match like merlin says to make good use of it.

This confirms what I thought, I was considering buying one of these but it would be pointless for me at this stage as I'm not looking to invest heavily in tuning just yet

Untuned with no FITV will be fun

There is little point of installing this if it isn't going to be tuned / done properly. You'd probably impact general driveablility and see no real gains.

The more I mod my cars I realise it's do it all the way, or not at all.

Well, I'm v.happy today

. Received my brand new in the proper DC Sports box unopened, my HHC5029 (60mm collector version) DC Sports exhaust manifold from these guys (carbon culture).

It's the real deal! I now have the correct bolts, compression rings and 60mm gasket to fit this when the weather improves. Now just need my Kakimoto N1 (tommorow) and find the correct 60mm decat to fit it together .

Bargain £99 !!!

is the DC mani & downpipe for JDM fitment? or UK fitment

Its a UK fitment. I put it up to my UK cat and the flange was in the correct position and bolt holes aligned up. (Its built for the USA market so I think they are the same as ours in the exhaust/cat lengths).

why would that make a difference? the mani's are all the same and the only difference on the downpipe is the flange to the decat as one hole is about 2mm out and can be milled to fit
