Angelworks Matched Manifolds Benefit?

[bmh.01]

Car is currently only sporting a ITG panel filter but looking at getting a spare upper+lower intake manifolds and getting them matched by angelworks.

How much benefit will I see without a remap? A prospeed will be on the cards too as my centre section is knackered no decat though.

Depends how bad your existing one is.
It won't make it any worse. Might just run a little leaner.

Get inlets and exhaust done and then remap.

It all helps. Depending how bad yours are a present. The RS' inlets are much better in stock form. If you remove the fuel rail cover (x2 10mm deep socket needed) RS will be stamped under the injectors on the inlet. If you cant see this, then get yours ported

was think about doin this next! how much is it?

circa 180 ish iirc

Good, but you wont notice much! Just a great modification to start with imo.

IMHO the RS inlet is just a better casting and mine was actually a very poor port match before Ben worked his magic.

was yours an RS inlet with a bad port match? (its late lol)

the trophys have really bad plenums, probably a poor batch which went through at the time when the trophys were being assembled.

bugger, mines a 55 plate 182. I need to look at the castings, if they are bad i know who to call

Ghostbusters?

I've had mine done and it is better, picked up better lower down the revs

 

[BenR]

we have a new program for the RS lowers aswell, sharing the program between RS and non RS manifolds wasnt 100% spot on.

lol, i had mine done on my old cup too!! All helps, weather you can tell just by driving is a tough question imo. Coupled with a de cat remap and maxogen, it was quicker than the 172/182's i came up against.
