indy manifold, any good?

neondriver · 02-20-2006, 08:04 PM

looking for suggestions, comments about a ported/polished indy intake manifold. currently i have a stock intake manifold that is ported out and matched to a 60mm t/b. also the hedder has a cat on it still, would i benefit enough to be worth wild to get an long tube hedder?

my mods right now are:
2.0 DOHC Block
forged pistons
ported/polished head
titanium valves
headman headder
ported polished intrake manifold
60 mm m/p throttle body
mopar performance computer
crane #16 cams
unadorthadox under drive pully
drag axels
aftermarket racing clutch
new motor mounts
ice man intake
nitrous works wet nitrous system with gen x upgrade(- bottle heater)

the short answer...the indy sucks for the asking price, they have very poor quality control, the ports are badly matched(and I use that word loosely) to the gasket, if you want a good aftermarket manifold you may want to ask Alan about the one he has...I think its a blackdog unit(cant remember for sure, might be a fast fab unit as well), he wants between $350 and $450 for it..cant remember exactly offhand...ask him, it is a nice manifold though

well the one im looking at was already ported out for a dohc and a 60mm t/b (which is perfect for my application) after buying the acr im kinda tapped for cash so im working a trade of my old body kit for the manifold plus some cash . now im looking into a long tube hedder but not sure which route to go with that.

i too would advise to stay away from the indy intake. As far as longtubes go, yes, you will benefit greatly from that and be happy. I currently have a fast fab header with 2.5" flex, 2.5" magnaflow cat, and 2.5" dynomax piping and exhaust. I used to have a kirk header before and no comparison. Look for a used blackdog or fast fab on neons.org.

neondriver · 02-21-2006, 10:53 AM

well it seems there are alt of + and _ about the indy. valrico do you have any pictures of your exhaust setup? ive been hearing a few cases of the longtubes having clearance issues with the firewall.

Josiah · 02-21-2006, 09:31 PM

they do, we had to "convince" the firewall once to make it fit...the convincing took all of 5 minutes...heh, for that matter, I had to convince my downpipe to fit too...but thats just because I made a mistake in one of my angles

neondriver · 02-22-2006, 12:20 AM

humm well i got the indy today so i guess well do a test and see if either manifold makes a noticable difference.

neondriver · 02-22-2006, 10:49 AM

got it yesterday....now debating if i should sell it or install it.

Josiah · 02-22-2006, 05:35 PM

well, since you have it, you may as well install it, I'm sure its better than the stock manifold, or even a ported stock manifold(if its been port matched that is)

neondriver · 02-22-2006, 11:09 PM

yah i dont know i hear different opinions. i traded my body kit and a cople other small things for it. i think the manifold would be easier to sell than the body kit was. i think im gonna install it and hopefully make some money selling the ported stocker out. only thing the indy neds is to be ported out to 60 mm. originally i thought it was ported out but its not.

ACR2NV · 02-23-2006, 08:19 AM

where did you get that manifold from?

neondriver · 02-23-2006, 10:24 AM

got it from someone on floridaneons.com, wayde's son-in law or something like that.

neondriver · 02-24-2006, 05:39 PM
