NWP VQ30DEK intake manifold spacer REVIEW.....

this is my first true product review, so please don't flame too hard. plus, im open to answer anything left out, just pm.

simply put there great, from the first time i modified and installed them i noticed a reasonable butt dyno gain, the material that they are cut out of is wonderful, very durable and shows that there was quality put into making these. true there is some minor modification required to make them fit but nothing a person with some basic install experience cant handle. full install time cutting and all took me about 2 hours and that was including the beer and smoke breaks in between. after installation and cure time for the silicone, the engine sound at partial throttle and full throttle got a bit deeper, the intake definately whistles a hell of alot more now. the car feels torqie as hell, and top end pulls are just delicious, she feels like she breathing up top and just wants to go. plus the UIM, is alot cooler to the touch, there are abolutely no issues that pop out and the top of my head, simply a great design and a recommendation to anyone with a VQ30DEK!!!



FORGOT TO MENTION:

I will be heading to the dyno soon to re-tune and get some numbers as to what the car did after the install, just bare with me waiting for the paycheck.

Hmm let us know after you Dyno. Helped my friend do this on his 35 and the results were substantial to say the least. I was hoping they made them for the De-k. How much did they run you?

Well ive got 102K on her, when i change the spark plugs this is for sure going on. Ive heard too many good things to not give it a try. What sorta modifications must be made to install these spacers? Are the modifications only needed on the VQ30DEK?
Thanks!

a little bit of cutting and grinding in places is required for them to fit on our motors.
