I forget which company did it but an intake manifold was out for a little while but it was sort of a bust. While gains were made it was all on the top end (only a few ponies at that) and it killed off the bottom end.

yea i think it was dynatek, but, i heard of another company je import performance and they actually do have an intake manifold for the XD but its very pricey. the gains are good. they claim 16 whp and 8 lbs-trq its not what they wanted out of the product so they only make the manifold upon request. price tag: $1000 :/

than we gotta use you as an example chris lol cus u have just about everything done to your XD that anyone possibly could. i think if a larger throttle body, intake manifold, and maybe good piggy-back system were available plus all the mods that there already are (power-performance wise) our cars would be pretty sick.

There were three versions, Ohcrap got the first two and I got the last version. Mine gained a little power at the top and bottom ends of the power band, and lost a chunk of torque in the middle (where the vvti kicks in). After I finish with my exhaust, I was going to fiddle with it again. It also rattles against the hood latch bar on the car, so yeah need to look at that too. By the way, the manifolds aren't available, they were done from JE for sikky to make a product. They weren't satisfied with the product. So I guess if you wanted to run by JE to try again, they might try a new design.

maybe what you need is a good tune. get camcon.

ii think the xd be a good car for vip, stance flushed ect.

if you want speed. go with every thing that is already provided. all bolt ons. clutch/lsd ... weight reduction. im sure that will get the box going.

Everybody got an opinion, and what I mod mine the way I do is because I enjoy it. I don't like superfluous crap on my car that has no function.

I don't take stuff like that personal. I realize everybody feels different, but I just wanted to express myself as well.

you should take it personal. tell him to meet up with you at the flag pole after school. lol

anyways. theres enough parts to keep us occupied. its just the matter if you like what there is to offer... like theres carbon fiber parts out ... clutch upgrade. headers...

cant wait till winter is over with. so ii can mod this box to the core and call it a day lol
