Unless you're trying to eke out that last 10th of a second improvement, don't waste your money.

[JET]

Yep, not worth the cash unless you can find one cheap that someone else did.

[jrohner]

I agree with these last two, not worth it unless you are maxed out and need that last 2.473% of power at any cost.

[munchgsx]

So it's expensive, but does it work? Was there a power gain for people that have done it? Could it replace or do the same thing as sheet metal intake? I would rather run a honed intake for $500 dollars if it does the same thing as a SMIM. I'd love to not have to worry about fitment or cracking issues.

^They seem to be going used for $200 for that price I would check it out.

[scheides]

Yup, $200 and under (excluding core) would probably be worth it. R&R'ing IM is a PITA though, just be ready for your chest and back to hurt. I just did a basic ported manifold on my evo, the runners were portmatched, and the inlet side was bored to 65mm, to exactly match the ported stock TB I had done at the same time (to 65mm). If you do this, look at doing a ported TB at the same time. Not sure what options there are for doing the ported TB on a DSM, but its worth investigating.

[Goat Blower]

It's not worth it over maybe $50. They were both dynoed years ago and there was hardly any difference at all. Your money would be better spent on a boost leak tester. :-)
