Grams Performance VW MK4 Small Port Intake Manifold - Raw Aluminum

If you're looking to get more out of your 2000-2003 Volkswagen Golf's engine, especially if you're planning a larger turbo setup or just want to improve breathing on a stock configuration, this Grams Performance intake manifold is a solid option. It's designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for your factory manifold, making the installation process more straightforward.

This manifold features a unique modular design with a rotatable plenum. This means you can position the throttle body on either the driver or passenger side, which is a big help for custom intake routing, especially on modified vehicles. The plenum itself is 1.85 liters, and the tapered runners are designed for both high flow and good air velocity, which can lead to noticeable improvements in low-end and mid-range power, not just at the top end. The interior of the plenum is smoothed to help air move efficiently, and it comes with bosses for nitrous or methanol injection if you decide to go that route later. It's set up to work with your stock throttle body bolt pattern, which has a 72mm opening, but can also accommodate an 80mm throttle body. You won't need an extra vacuum manifold because it includes its own provision, and the low-profile air horns help with fitment.

This manifold is made from raw aluminum and is a well-built component for those looking to enhance their engine's performance. Keep in mind that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. You'll want to check your local emissions regulations before purchasing.
