  
The installation of this intake manifold is extremely easy and straightforward. No special tools are required and it is designed to utilize either the factory stock fuel rails or direct aftermarket replacement rails. We have confirmed the fitment of the "Fore Performance" fuel rails, and they will work on this intake manifold without issue, should you need them. We have gone through a great deal of effort to make every aspect of this product fit "perfectly", and this has helped to ensure that virtually anyone can install this product, provided that they follow the detailed supplied instructions.
Each runner on this intake manifold flows between 325 to 330 CFM each. This flow capacity is greater than ANY currently available cylinder head option for the 3V engine, which means that it will not pose a restriction to ANYONE at this point.
Below 3,200 RPM, the performance of the new intake will be identical to, or slightly better than, the factory intake at wide open throttle. Even though the CMVC flaps are not present, the high flow capacity of the intake manifold combined with runner length ensures that no power is lost below 3,400 RPM, which is the point at which the factory CMVC flaps open.
The C&L 3V Manifold is cast from aluminum, and fully dressed it weighs just under 15 lbs more than the factory plastic intake manifold. If additional weight is of concern, then we reccomend that you look into purchasing a Braille carbon fiber battery, which at under 10 pounds will MORE than offset the difference between the factory intake and our new assembly.
This product does require tuning. Every tuner has a different technique and it is for this reason we will not guarantee SPECIFIC horsepower gains. Your gains will depend on the level of modifications performed to your vehicle and quality and accuracy of your tune. We will be supplying tuning tips with this product for you to provide to your tuner.
