UDATE! Pics of the new C-4 also! Alright I decided to create this thread because of all the intake manifold threads....and they all come down to the professional products one(Typhoon) from www.rpmoutlet.com
the HPS one from www.hiperformancesolitions.com .
Neither are out yet, but are SUPPOSEDLY about to be.
And EDIT the www.purpleracing.com intake(AKA the C-4) , that apparently is being shipped NOW. Only problem is the guy lives in freegin TURKEY...yes thats right.
Now I see that alot of people are unaware of one or the other, and really dont know the differences.
Now to keep this from me bashing one or the other, I will post pics (or links to pics) so you can determine yourself which is better.
But I will give a little history and what I know about both..., but wont give my opinion until it comes to which I am buying.
First up, here is the picture of the PP aluminum one. View attachment 488181
From what I can gather, its basically a stock reproduction to OEM specs. But when they say its, "developed in conjunction with one of the leading mustang specialists" im not to sure what to think of that, and hints that its not an EXACT duplicate...so there may be some slight differences, but again, they are not clear. It also appears to have about the same dementions and overal design. But you can take it apart in 3 sections, so it should be very easy to port.
Now the C-4.
Looks to be VERY well designed, and has plenty of inner plenum volume. Also appears to be P&Pd. It costs $899 though
And here is the HPS.
Now right off the bat you can clearly see the difference of how much space the runners have to breathe from. You can also see that the runners are shorter than stock (= more highend HP)....and the owner has confirmed both of these things. And stated that the inner plenum volume is 3 times larger than stock...and I can believe it lol. This one only has 2 parts, but it looks like you can get to everything fairly well for porting. Especially since the runners are shorter.
MY OPINION! Why im buying what.
I will be buying the HPS version because it is noticable different than the stocker, and you can tell it is geared for more high performance. It definatly has some R&D in it....and the runners can also be shortened even more, for further tunability. I also like the huge volume for the runners to breath from, but it would take an expert to say exactly what that does. And its not purple
Discuss, and thanks for reading
