Wilson Manifolds

[PHenry]

Has anyone ever tried a Wilson intake manifold? I am unfamiliar with them but have been give some information and told that they are incredibly efficient. I was hoping someone could tell me if they are a worthwhile investment for mileage. Thanks.

Look here... Wilson Manifolds - The Wilson Thrasher intake manifold: very big news for 5. 9L ‘03–’07 Cummins turbo diesels





Cummins forum has a good thread going. Wilson Thrasher Intake Manifold - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum

No new updates by users in a while huh? I'm gonna get a Airdog prior to it though, any info appreciated.

Me too. Once my air dog and new shocks are in i will be getting it also.

Just ordered a Thrasher Intake Manifold. Once I get my FASS installed, I will post install and give my thoughts on it.

i have been running one for about 1000 miles,i am very happy with the results so far. It looks like it has improved my milage 2 mpg, i will need to get a couple more tanks of fuel thru it to be sure. also i had to turn the smarty down to sw. one to keep my clutch from going away (definitely more power) . I have also noticed lower EGT,s across the board. john g

What did you have before?

 

[jgoff]

i had a glacier diesel intake on before, put it on my brothers 05,it helped a little on the EGTs and was an ok unit. john g

 

[SShafranko]

I wonder how it compares to a CFM?

 

[MScheiper]

John,

Thanks for the info. Clutch will probably be the next upgrade down the road for me.

I have been looking at the AFE intake..... However, after reading about the Wilson, I have changed my mind. I plan on buying one in the begining of April! So, if anyone has more feedback, please post!



Thanks!

Do you have to delete the grid heaters or can you keep them?

 

[MScheiper]

I believe as of now you have to delete the grid, but I think I read somewhere that Wilson is looking into a way of keeping them.

 

[JWadford]

no reason to keep the grid if you are doing the manifold, can only flow as much as the tightest restriction, that being said, the grid will be like a cfm limiting plate on a race car

How cold can it get before my CR won't start without a grid heater?

grid heater

If you take out the grid heater will it throw a code and CEL?

no codes on my truck

Also no codes/cel on my 2005 with the GDP horn and delete. Still starts right up, with no wait to start. Of course, it has never gotten below 30* here.
