Its a super simple install. Its harder to read thru all this mess lol. Go with the DIY for reference and make a couple vac hoses...done. IMRC's are a pain and a crapshoot if they will feel like working or not but still no biggie.

locking out IMRC makes it super easy. I think its the best way to go. I don't notice anything negative.. I got my clean side seporator hooked up properly now, car pulls really hard and all the way past 7k.

Does anyone know what size caps we need for the unneeded ports? Gonna start this pretty soon and I'll be putting my car on a dyno after to measure results.

Has anyone did dyno numbers of locked vs. unlocked on the IMRC's? Still trying to figure out how I am going to go on this.

Im pretty sure they will dyno identical due to the IMRC's opening fully on WOT passed a certain (2500ish maybe?) RPM. I hit up a dyno day with mine operational and put down 450whp followed up by two passes right around 441-442 whp. I never got a baseline before but the same day, literally right before I made my runs a 2015 GT PP put down 386whp with nothing more than a catback exhaust.

386 is a touch to the high[er] side, generally I think it's around 370-375 for a manual, bone stock, but even if this dyno was reading a little high, a 450 best (and a 441/442 probably with a little heat soak) is pretty fantastic.

Even the lower numbers, with a 4% or so downward correction, is still putting you right at 500HP.

Yeah I use track numbers over dyno but was happy to hit up a local dyno day a buddy put together. I was extremely thankful that the near stock 15 showed up, simply to be able to see the difference between his mods and mine! I was HOPING for 430's and was figuring it would come in a tad lower so I was beyond pleased with the results.

Yeah that is a big difference between the two thanks for sharing. You don't have headers right? I was going to wait to get headers before getting the manifold but it looks like a nice gain regardless.

Oh yeah, I sort of just assumed, but I don't see them in the mods in his sig, so wow, yeah, if that's the case, he's got another nice bump in power available.

Keith is right, no headers at that time which is another reason I was beyond happy. I have some longtubes on the way and should have them on in the next week or so, should round out the mods nicely.
