Intake Plenum: C&L versus Accufab

[wickedtama]

what's better: C&L or Accufab. It seems that Acufab is consistently more expensive than C&L, is it just because it's looks "nice & shiny". I'm not concerned with the appearance of the plenum, just the performance and fit. Which is the better purchase?

at modulardepot.com they have an article comparing all the different plenums.... and dyno #'s.

yes they do and ACCUFAB wins in all aspects (and it looks nicer)

Depends on what's more important to you. $100 in your wallet or 2-3 more hp. The accufab/tb combo will run you $400. A C&L plenum w/tb will cost you $300. The accufab will probably give you 2-3 hp more than the C&L setup.

So...save $100 or gain 2-3 hp more.

That's the decision you have to make.

The accufab/tb combo will run you $400.

Where did you see the accufab/tb combo for $400? Best I've seen for 75mm combo is $470 from Accufab's website and I'm looking to buy one soon...saving $70 would be good. Thanks.

Do a search, this topic has been beat to hell.

But as everyone has mentioned, the Accufab is better IMO. Looks alot better than the C&L.

if you have a blower on the car go with the dragon plenum.. you can get it @ steeda. if you have an NA, the accufab will put out the most power but only by a few hp. besides that it looks a lot nicer, it's up to you if you want to spend the extra $ for a couple of hp.

Get the C&L and port and polish that. There is a lot of room for improvement in that. 20 bucks in bits will probably gain the 2-3 HP you're looking for.

check out ebay as well. I mean it is a chunk of aluminum. it does not go bad. I bought a bbk accufab setup off ebay with 4 dyno runs on it for $300. As far as $100 for 2-3 hp that is better than some mods people do.

my .02 is buy the accufab. peak is not the end all. if you look at the graph there is more than 2-3 hp lower in the band. there is more like 5hp+ in the midrange. that is probably worth $100 on these cars.

Hey speaking of this, I heard that BBK was releasing one soon... Anyone know jack about it? I also heard rumor of a BBK Manifold as well... I hope anyway.
