Hey i got a old school adfx that you might want since your into pos type setups!
Im confused. Is this you trying to insult me or offer something to help or what? I dont know what "adfx" is what is a "POS type set up?" Forgive me but I am just overall confused by what you typed. lol
Apparently you haven't been around long enough to see the various manifolds through out the years.
I take it your only basing your opinions on the upper plenum shots. Have you looked at the rest of the manifold design or just taking shots at Phr? Having seen one and having one in my possession it's nice to see someone change it up a bit from all the others on the market.

did you test at high boost? i think you should test at different boost levels.
This thread is not a bashing contest, we simply posted a new product designed and developed to outperform our competitors and so far have done so. We have made a lot of changes and offer things that other companies don't offer with various options.
Yes $3,000 is a lot of money but there is a reason it sits at that price.
For god sake I just sold a HKS Strut tower bar for $2300 if you think $3000 is a bit much for an intake manifold what about a $2300 strut bar? That's also what I sold it for, I continued to have other people offer me higher to try and regain the item.
This manifold IS NOT for everyone and that wasn't the point in going into this? It was to offer something new and different that still gives you the power you need or more with the looks.
Thanks,
Joe
LOL yes I apologize once again but yes I believe $2300 for something as simple as a strut bar is slightly ridiculous. You guys did a good job on the CNC part of the manifold for that my hat is off to you. But to make the power that you did it is highly unnecessary. This is also like your guys "Custom fan set up you sell" with OEM Lexus fans...
.for outrageously high of a price. I see only one guy has called you out in each thread for your products being so expensive. Well Im here to "Rock the boat" too. Why dont you make parts that cost less to appeal more to the consumer. You will sell more and make more $$$$ in the end.
Your guys quote is "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" at the pace you guys are going there is going to be a lot of "Flattery" going around in your shop. I mean this with all sincerity.
There's no reason to apologize since your main purpose is bashing Phr and their products. On the fan kit you can easily buy the shroud and source out your own fans. Problem solved (This could have been posted in the other thread btw). Also, Phr products have never been the cheapest and don't always fit everyone's price point.

My cock is bigger.
There is $700 in OEM parts from Lexus. My Fan shroud I sell for $285 I find that pretty cheap. Its built around Toyota quality which makes it the best performing fan kit on the market. Try comparing it to the Electric Flexlites or AAP fans? I promise there will be a day and night difference. + the fact that you can get my fan kit unlike AAP.

How is making the power we made unnecessary? I admit we need to compare our manifold to a stock manifold so you can see the FULL gain. Saying we make more power and torque over the hypertune is great, means that we perform that much over what the stock vs hypertune made.
Its simply us setting the bar that much higher!
lol,yea u are correct...lol Just curious about all the Hype around the gtx but no biggie. Im sure the PHR will make more hp than the VS but im curious to see how much more.
Joe,
I talked to a few people at MIR that were running the Wilson and they said "they all leak". I do want to buy the Wilson and try it but I do not want to end up spending $300 to have another leaking TB. Any insight if this thing is that new or something you guys are doing different. Thanks for the help.

I had a nice PRO EFI (I think) TB, which was dual sealed, very expensive, and it did not leak. They are discontinued.
- Parts are made in America not in some sweat shop half way around the world by 12 year olds which drastically raises the price!

- R&D costs money and time!
- The equipment to make these parts cost money and they need to be payed for!
- PHR has to cover overhead, its part of business and that cost needs to be included in the sale of there products!
- They are not mass producing these which makes the cost of materials higher and that cost needs to be included in the sale of there products!
- Joe & the other staff need pay checks and that cost needs to be included in the sale of there products!
Repetitive enough for you?
There is so many factors that you don't see... when looking at the price sure $3000+ seems like alot for an intake manifold but if you want the best it comes at a price. I have used alot of PHR products... everything fits and looks amazing, and performance is second to none.
Enough said.

Man what's with the bashing, these guys are basically doing us a favor developing parts for our cars that are over 15 years old and with a dying aftermarket support, be thankful whether you buying one or not, if you got nothing good to say then don't say it.
The importance as that you don't lose boost pressure at WOT.
Idle doesn't matter at all. It will leak some but it realistically is one of the best on the market.
Thanks,
Joe
The idle mattered to me Joe. I couldn't get any other throttle body to not pull air past the TB shaft seals. I couldn't get the car to idle under 1000 rpm with other TBs. The Accuslob TBs are a joke.
Joe,
Do you have a current picture of this manifold? I noticed on the website you guys teamed up with Wilson. The manifold looks and bit different on the website than the one you posted on the forum.
The pic on the website was the original plenum design and has since been revised. New version goes toward the fender well. The runner design has stayed the same.
There's a couple pics floating around on Sf but here's one from a customer of ours;

There is only one problem with the design guys, you have a circle going into a square plenum with no transition, you're going to cause a tumbling effect in part which will cause a bit of turbulence. Some of the air will seek to back fill the surrounding area, and it's falling over a sharp edge - the air will tumble on itself. Which might not be too back, that air could create a soft boundary layer, but it would be nicer to have some sort of circle to square transitioning.
Outside of that, this is one of my favorite IM designs!
manifold looks great but price is not for the average joe!
