I was looking on the Descendant racing site, and notice they sale both, BUT the Descendant is a box type while the Weapon R has the EL velocity stack runner to box type. I would assume its somewhat better.

Any feedback, was gonna throw a stock one back on since the incident, but might as well put a nice one on to make more power.. also will be using the drive by wire TB.

with the power and boost you are making i think the decendant would make your car breath better.

 

Someone beat me to asking this question, lol.

I had the same question but granted I'm not puttin' down 600+, just a modest 240 and I was facing the same fork in the road.

 

im not sure about the box design though, i think a more rounded one would flow much better and create less turbulence.. regardless of the box design it should still flow way better than stock

 

Well justin, this is a cross roads i have yet to face! Heres were i see the trouble.

One: If you had this when you had the nazzz explosion! Your engine would been damaged!

Two: The stock IM failed only because of the nazzz!

Three: ptuning will be releasing there's

Four: I belive you have to mod ur ic piping for these to work!

Now posibly the good stuff!

Maybe you will make more power since its less restrictive!

Looks way more bling

free's up some room

If you buy one and it works then i will to!


Call if you wanna chit chat! Im thinking the desedant is the better design out of the two!

 

Well if you generalize about the benefits on their designs, you'll usually find that with the WR intake mani, you'll generate a bit more torque and more mid-range. The GE intake mani (Descendent rebrands it) has short runners and a large box-style plenum - these will usually generate more top-end power.

I would probably prefer the GE style (short runner) for more topend since our cars are already so torqey.

I'm interested in someone making a short-runner mani with a tapered cylindrical plenum.. but tapered - not a perfect cylinder.

 

id rather go with the decendant for the simple fact the runners are shorter which are better for boosted cars.. its also lighter and fits the already more compact space behind the head...

yeah its a box design which causes a bit of turbulance but look at greddys old IM for the 1js.. on the inside its some what of a rectangular design same as the dec. one.
