alright I have a 2.4L........ i got the Extrude Honed Manifold installed today and WOW what a difference....... ALOT of low end torque....... burned rubber like crazy and thats something that was really hard to do before hand...... i really recommend this part....... AND ITS STILL COVERED BY WARRANTY!!!

TCarter

good call my man. We also carry them. but are still implementing them into our site.

Did it have an extra bong for an o2 sensor on it, and thus you just welded a plug in? The reason I ask is because you and I have identical 2.4L cars and since the stock manifold has the same size openings, just not extrude honed, i was wondering if there would be a large difference. Also, don't let me down man....SOUND CLIP!!!

BluetoGreyIonDriver

the sound really isnt noticably different to me....... just the feeling of it..... and its subtle... its not a huge difference........

REDFOCZ

Did you take any pics of it befor install? And you have an auto right, I wonder how much it would help the manuel?

NoRemorse

the 'BUNG' is in the same location as the stock unit. This is the stock redline/SS unit, just honed out to flow more.

The 07 sensor isn't in the manifold, that is the difference. Do you feel it was worth the $250 it cost? I'm going to buy the GMPP Sport Exhaust, just not sure whether to get the Intake or the Manifold with it...I've heard that there isn't too much difference with the manifold to stock, so I'm leaning towards Catback and Intake. What you think BluetoGrey???

NoRemorse

??? It's not in the manifold??

martinsmu

Blue to grey?? I'd say catback and intake is ure better bang for the $$

Congrats on your new found power. Be safe.

NoRemorse

HOLY ****, you're right. I just brought up the assembly diagrams! it's in the DP pre cat!

In taht case, you just have to plug up the bung in the GMPP extrude hone manifold.

FlintIonQC

So which way should I go for most bang for the dough?!?!?

BluetoGreyIonDriver

well i got an intake and catback first.........

hell, get um all!!

1stbluSS

plug up the bung hehe

Im confused though the first post you said WOW WHAT A Difference

Then you said that you didnt notice too much difference but there was a difference ?

FlintIonQC

Lol, exactly. i only want to spend 600 on the CED sale, so that is why I was asking which was the best combo: intake and catback or manifold and catback. It would be a while before I purchased the option I didn't go with, so that is why I need bang for your buck.

BluetoGreyIonDriver

im sorry, i meant the sound is not a huge difference.

the power is a big noticable difference...... the 2.4L autos suffer from the stupid torque management of the ECM forcing the power to sorta "kick in" at around 2000rpms..... with mods your able to get a bit more torque off the line and this SINGLE mod made a difference...... again in CONJUNCTION with my Intake, throttle body and catback system.... ANY of these parts by themselves wont do much

FlintIonQC

So a hookup of manifold and catback would be a good start at one time rather than doing the manifold later?

stlurbanpunk

should of got a stick... I test drove the 2.4 auto and was like wtf is this ****?! then i tried the manual and was surprised with the differences. I'm able to lay down rubber stock...
but good call on the mod....

avro206

yeah there is a pretty big difference between auto and manual 2.4L.
I find i really have to press down on that ultra stiff gas pedal to get her going. I am starting to slwoy open her up a it more and am pleasently surprised.

stlurbanpunk

you got that new one right? how long have you had it and how many miles r on it?

i got mine just before the new year and i have about 600 on it.
check out my gallary!

snowbred

my fellow 2.4 autos you need to get the ecm and tcm tuned.. then you will amazed I'm anxious to get another header, i was going to install the gmpp but i ended up selling it. to get the tune.. best money spent hands down.. but holy torque steer batman

avro206

I have had it 9 days now and have a bit over 500 kms on it (310 miles)

You must not drive much! lol

after my last ecperince with "tunes" I am wary. Not sure racing my daily driver is such a hot idea.....but I will admit I am awfully tempted to get the GMPP intake and exhaust.

So what does the car shift at after the tune? who did yours? Oh Westers I see.

g5mike

thought you sold your car and got a vette?????????

avro206

go back to the post. Further down I admitted to a joke--it was a rental. Look the pics. There is some scenery in the backround that just cannot be Calgary.

snowbred

you had the tune done on your coupe with the 5spd right? Like i've said, the autos seem to gain more from tunes. i think its the best tune to getting it shift like its supposed to.. i dont really remember where i set the shift rpm to.. i think it was like 2k more than stock, but im not sure.
