yes, the Ractive intakes will work on the SOHC as well. Ractive has been making the intakes for the 1st gen Pro for quite some time now. im surprised you guys hadnt seen them sooner. if you want one, you can get them here.

nope, Ractive is Toucan Industries (Eurolite, R1, Ractive, etc) Weapon-R is a different company. Unless Toucan bought them out....??

now, my question is, those ractive intakes, do they bypass the VAF...and also, do these suckers have that notch on the intake tube you can hook your PCV breather tube into? just wondering.

you say get an ebay intake... but what the **** is this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2422869360
i don't see where a 90 degree bend is required anywhere in our intake system, and even so, such a poor design could only REDUCE air flow, not increase it. OR, is that picture just a 'wrong' picture? now this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2422420557
this DOES look like a feasible intake for our cars, i can understand something like that working... ah, i can't wait until i get mine in the mail... just to see "Cheap E-Bay No-name Assclown Intake" sad thing is, i probably will to... is the second intake worth getting? thanks fellas.
peace

i think i saw a plug to put the air sensor in on the side of the tube...and it comes with the hole on the other side to attach to the manifold

lol, i'm not playing the jackass card here protoss, i'm actually asking a question, after researching a bit, i did find what i needed to know about that. bottom line, i am going to order an inake tomorrow, i just can't see the worth in spending 200 bucks on the weaponR intake. if you've got some interesting information to feed me, please do, eitherwise, you took my post in an off the wall sarcastic manor.
peace

does the intake actually do much for power at all, it felt good lastnight driving it around, but the sound was more noticable then anything else
