sorry about that its Magnus http://magnusmotorsports.com/
and what info do you need ?
Those guys are located in Toronto...they do some pretty good work. I do remember visiting them before I got my hiboost kit...and asked them to provide a very rough estimate on a custom kit, they never called me back. I think they thought I was joking or something....but their loss.
I may be interested.

hmm...lots of questions....here we go:
the short-runner style is nice for high-end but has almost low end torque.
where is the VICS located??
How do you plan to keep the VICS from throwing a CEL?
Do you have anything to advertise other than a picture? Dyno charts and numbers would be helpful...mainly dyno's. I bet the PEAK hp # will be higher but the area under the curve much smaller.

Kooldino, the price is high!! I bought an intake just like that off ebay for my civic and it was $150+$12 shipping!

I would only buy one if they didn't make a generic manifold, and made the right kind, unlike in that picture. The runners need to be long, and progressivley get smaller as they near the head to create turbulence. The injectors need to be at a angle shooting towards the heads as well, about 1" down the runners and at an angle less than 20 degrees. Also unlike the picture it would be nice if they actually made the damn thing symettrical. Otherwise I'm not paying 650 for a chromed out metal tube that is less progressive than our stock one.
after some more thought...I don't know if I am ever going to push my needs to a level that would require me to go with this type of manifold.
So....count me out.

yeah, my point is that this style manifold won't make any power. It'll actually take away all of the proteges usefull lowend power. It will gain some on the top end, but it will hurt daily driving. A highly boosted motor will see more benfit from it than a regular NA motor.

aha, well you'll still have to deal with the VICS and the 200+ vaccuum lines that are on the stock manifold.....you can't just leave those off!

if you keep the wiring harness plugged in, and just don't hook up the mechanical parts of the VTCS, you wont get any check engine lights with it not being there
most of the other vacuum lines are just sensor lines detecting vacuum/boost pressures, very easy to do, even if the manifold doesn't come with fittings, you can just weld some up
