Ooooo learn something new. Stock ones make brake duct routing inefficient.

Are you part of the Z club of Texas?

No. I did join a DFW Z club long time ago but never attended any car meet. Too busy too lazy too tired.

If anyone was curious, here is where I have my chase bays windshield washer reservoir. It's pretty small but has enough to clean my windshield in a pinch.

Doing a bit of research and getting a lot of mixed info (including from previous posts on this forum) on the stock intake manifold limits and had a few questions for some of the more experienced guys:

- I am running 21 psi of boost. saw some posts say anything over 25 psi is where it starts to crack and another post say over 18 psi when to start worrying. Should I be planning on replacing my stock manifold sooner rather than later?

- Are there any reliable options out there that maintain using the stock strut bar? I've only seen AAM and Soho. Pretty much everything I've seen about the AAM is bad from quality to performance. Saw both good and bad reviews on the Soho and on their website its not even available right now. Also saw mixed reviews on using the GTR manifold and that does not maintain the stock strut bar.

I just sold my SOHO one. You may be crap out of luck on that one. At 21psi, the stock intake will crack/split.

You're running the CJM manifold right? Looking at your thread could I even trust Soho if I were able to get one? lol If thats the case, there doesnt seem to be much options since AAM and Soho are the only ones I really see.

The manifold work just fine. That wasn't my problem. I got the CJ Motorsport one because I wanted one for a long long time. The GTR ones you will lose around 70whp.

Do you (or anyone else) know if you can still put the stock engine cover back on? If I do go the Soho route, I dont really like the look of their design so I would much rather have the functionality of a stronger manifold but cover it back up to look stock.

The CJM manifold requires a lot more changes though right? Its not a direct replacement like the Soho one?

Yes because the intake pipes come from the front.
