That's pretty cool, and also it cost less than I payed for the custom one that I got. Any back info on this or the company?

it be ideal if it were for a turbo. but I'm having my doubts it will make a good 7hp/tq. The price just seems a bit too steep for the amount of power it may put out

If it does make 7ish HP then that is about $100 per HP that does seem kinda steep. But has it been dynoed to get true numbers

On the flip side I like the idea and that this is possible being made.

i talked to my scikotics team leader for jersey and he has dealt with toyboxracing he says there kinda sketchy and he is iffy about buying stuff from them idk why but he said he would look into it for me cus he knows one of the employees there personally.

its just strange because i met one of there employees at a meet and he seemed cool and knowledgable. he was even gonna hook me up with a HID for like 50% off. but that really doesnt say much about the business aspect. i wouldnt buy the manifold anyway just to expensive to purchase without even knowing the power output.

i know i just said the price is expensive but compared to the je performance manifold thats relatively cheap. when i was in maryland i spoke to the guy that worked on the intake mani for the XD he said the output wasnt what they wanted. they claim 15 hp and 7 ft-lbs but the price was just over 1100 not including shipping. so it was scrapped. they said its a by-customer order product. there is possible reason to believe this new mani can put out those numbers i stated before. i guess sumone will eventually just step up and make the buy :/

i think its a much better option to just do a motor swap or mooch from corolla guys than hope for xD performance parts. this is coming from a stance low n slow guy, but it just sees more realistic at this point.

^^ This

My stance is that if I was that seriously intent on engine performance, I wouldn't have bought an Xd. At the time I bought my car, I believe it was the pretty much highest HP rating in it's class, at least higher than Versa or Fit, so I felt like I was already getting pretty much the most you can get out this class of vehicle. Beyond that, I don't mind sinking some money into a couple mods that may increase HP slightly, such as the CAI I have or possibly an exhaust down the road, but I would never consider spending a large chunk of cash hoping to get a few extra HP's. Just my 2 cents.
