View Full Version : JM Fabrications
If you wait a bit I should have an intake manifold on the market in 2 months or so. I am buying a TIG with my tax return and I have access to a couple of machine shops for the press bends and CNC'd flanges. My design is similar to a BJ's, but with a few changes.

Ya like I said, I'm keeping my options pretty open for now. Trying to look at everything there is. It'd be after I got home from Japan when I'd be looking at this. So maybe you'll have a design by then that I can see. When I get is pretty much dependant on the kind of job I get once I'm home and out of the Marines. But I'll keep you in mind, just like I am everyone else!

Everything seems to be going up. Mangus 2g manifold are now $715.00. I think that's crazy high but if people are paying it, then why wouldn't you raise your price. Just like ebay raised their prices, because they can.
Like other people on here, i'm also making one. We actually have a CNC machine but i'm gonna buy the first flange so i don't have to put a ton of hours into R&D. I found a place that sells flanges very reasonable. Then i can write a CAD program to CNC the flanges. Everything will be machined in-house to keep the cost down.
I'm not gonna spend a ton of hours designing and testing my work though trying to make a new design. I'm just reverse engineering a very popular well known SMIM. I copied all the specs from a guy that has the original. I figure all i have to do is change a thing or two and, "It's mine". Once i get the flange from the guy, i'll be on my way. I'd be willing to sell these but it won't be anywhere near the $700 range.

I had the same old school Magnus intake as Shane. Although i never rev'd mine past 8k it was still making power there. The magnus aslo has such a nice broad torque curve as well, just flat and solid, not peaky like other.
I still think the FRH intake SUCKS!! From the 2 vehicles we have tested it on, its a very peaky intake and refuses to make hp or trq on the top end. On 2 vehicles we tested both on SC61's one w/ 272/272 and a Magnus the other w/ 264/264 and FRH there was a 115whp difference. Both on the same boost levels and both on stock motors/heads. Both vehicles we're dyno'd w/in 2 hours of each other as well in our own shop tuned by us. You tell me!!
If anyones looking for a Magnus before the price increase sets in on my next order i have 2 left.
