C&L 3V Intake Manifold (U.S. Patent No. D580,547)

PRODUCT UPDATE: Due to recent feedback from customers with higher rpm engines, we are now testing a modification to the intake runners. Testing is scheduled to be performed as early as this week.

We are now taking Pre-Orders for the next production run of manifolds. The first two production runs of manifolds have been shipped and dyno testing for different configurations is currently underway. Testing on a COMPLETELY stock vehicle with full factory exhaust has shown solid gains in the upper RPM range. See the dyno charts below.

We have tested a Whipple single blade throttle body (which will not fit on the factory intake). The single blade throttle body has shown additional gains of anywhere between 4 to 6 HP (above 4,200 RPM) over the factory throttle body.

We have also tested the GT500 throttle body. The GT500 throttle body made 2 less rwhp than the Whipple single blade throttle body. Due to the cost and additional tuning requirements for the single blade throttle body, it might only be an option for those who are looking to pick up every last bit of additional power.

The addition of the new intake manifold does require special tuning adjustments, once we have these optimized, and are satisfied that we have found the ideal combination, then we will be publishing our results here on the website.



The two dyno charts below show the before and after testing performed by Evolution Performance for the June 2009 MM&FF article. The BEFORE test (left) is with the stock intake manifold, long tube headers, cams, off road pipe, C&L Racer Intake and tuning. The AFTER test (right) is with the addition of a C&L 3V Manifold and a Whipple single blade throttle body.

"The intake performed exactly as Bender predicted. ... a stellar 27 rwhp better than the baseline numbers." June 2009 MM&FF



"The C&L intake will perform admirably at the track and on the street." - June 2009 MM&FF







The dyno chart below (left) is on a TOTALLY STOCK engine with full factory exhaust. The dyno chart below (right) is a turbo charged car. The turbo car was experiencing a cylinder misfire on the top end in both the before and after runs which accounts for the wavy reading up top. This car made 547 and 548 before the intake and throttle body and 619 and 605 after installing the intake and throttle body.
