For a near stock vehicle, I see no issues with the M370, but for my car, I did not see a bump in midrange power and I saw a dramatic loss up top when compared to the stock manifold. I'll be removing the M370 and replacing the stock manifold soon and I'll be back on the rollers to retune the vehicle with the old manifold.

I'm not here to bash on Motordyne's products, I really like their stuff, but the M370 did not work for me. I was a M370 faithful and stood by in it's defense until I could prove whether it worked for me or not. I'm disappointed in the results, but the dyno doesn't lie. All my runs have been on the same dyno since baseline. The only differences is temperature. It was about 85 degrees last night. I'm at work and don't have the dyno run on me, I'll post when I get home. Maybe someone might be able to explain the significant power difference until then.
on a side note look at my last dyno test * HR vs VHR intake manifold within an hour ,same weather , same day.**
you can see on my case , the HR intake is quite superior minus some loss over 7200 rpm went up to 7700rpm

ok its not the one from Motordyne as I did the swap and modified the IM myself but they are the same exact part.


the car has a bigger CAI & MAF Tube
bigger TB by 2.5mm
NST lightweight crank pulley
PPE steped long tube headers
custom X-pipe and straight flow muffler. ( 2.5'' exhaust )

I did a mistake on the picture when I wrote down which was the VHr and HR dyno number...

VHR = 329whp
HR = avrg of 327whp of the 3 runs.
