In general, for boosted applications, EITHER of these manifold should make a decent amount of power over the stock manifold. If you have the $$$ to get it, deff get it. If you dont, then the stock IM would be more than sufficient.

I like the plastic intake manifold personally its well designed for a plastic one. Ive seen VW plastic and ford ones blow to pieces with nitrous, I ran a 70 shot for a long time and it held up great.

if I had to choose Id get descendant since I hate the goofy angled throttle body on the tc

^ Yeah Marco at Billet does bad___ work... his prices aren't so bad___.. but he can get away with it because his clientele is wealthy.

Shoot, I've been waiting for a dyno sheet from Descendant before I even decided to come close to pulling the trigger on a Manifold.

i offered my car for the dyno and they agreed, but i had to buy thier manifold, pay for tuning and dyno time as well as paying them to install it. they didn't care for results or pitching in on cost.

Oh, damn all that noise.

And not to mention for 700 bucks that I'd have to drop, I care about results, lol.

Let's hear it for OEM plastic! WOO!

For flare factor go with the neo chrome weapon-r for sure. Im sure both will yeild gains. But Descendant is out there running this hardcore so they got my vote.

But those custom ones Rock!!
