Cracked Intake Manifold?
I have the stock Plastic intake manifold... I drive my car a bit hard at times... One day a guy in a v6 Eclipse thought he was slick.... So I dropped down a gear and left him.... Well I noticed a lot of steam poring out behind me.. As I pulled over and lifted the hood Surprise more steam.
It was Spraying down behind my alternator on the right side ( Facing the motor ). As in around the thermostats housing but further under... Definitely a cracked manifold?? Also I was looking at the Trickflow manifold but am looking for adivce on what to get / cost effective. ( NO MORE PLASTIC not even the dorman with some cast iron. ) HELP!! |

Yea those housings break alot on people. Not much if any gain on an aftermarket manifold untill you go boost or big nitrous shots. I would get a new later model stock one with the aluminum crossover. That will fix u up and they aren't too expensive. Looks like this

For the money and the gain ( highly doubt you will see 21) its just not worth it. The stock intake is not a short coming on the motor until like I said, you go boost or a big nitrous shot. There are a ton of guys on here pounding out pretty damn high numbers on the stock intake.
