Have you heard of any longevity issues with them? I know I heard one report of a failure but that's about it.

It certainly is a tough decision, but evo8/9/X there's kinda a few combos to go with (and I cannot decide what I want!)

Option1: Ported stock manifold, ported stock TB
Option2: Ported stock manifold, modified to 3" inlet, boomba 75mmTB, fancy 3" LICP, 3" FMIC outlet
Option3: aftermarket intake manifold w/ stock or boomba TB.


Man, we have the makings of a real test here

A very very expensive test....yikes.

I plan to go with the ported stocker and ported stock intake mani myself. I am struggling on justifying the rev3 over the rev2 as Clipse on evoxforums saw some very impressive gains with the ported stocker and rev 2 MAP mani.

However on a black I bet it would be worth it for the extra 300/400 bucks.

Scheides, 3" IC piping stuff just isn't necessary i don't think...even people on like 800whp setups I think see very minimal gains and sometimes just loses down low.
