Wilson Junk? First I heard as well. For the price you're paying I hope it's not junk. Everybody swore by them when they came out........now they seem to have dissappeared.

Buschur got into a bickerfest with them so now all his followers who were on Wilson's bandwagon have jumped off.

Interesting review...and Wilson is certainly not junk, they are well made and have achieved great numbers, differences between two parties is a another story which shouldn't be used to classify a product.

OH I agree with you. I was just laughing about the situation. I know they're a High Caliber shop with a big reputation.

I was very skeptical when i heard about this manifold and was hoping that skunk 2 finally had something to offer to the community, but I guess they should stick with what they know hondas.
As for the Wilson comment i completely disagree they are definitely not junk but not necessarily the best for the price. Jeff is Loyal to the Buschur brand and since they've helped him run low ET's that's understandable but he has a somewhat biased opinion when it comes to BR vs X.

Wilson doesn't compete on price. They compete on quality and engineering. And neither of those two things come cheap.

Well it didnt flow good on a flow bench, and other manifolds have picked up better tq/hp over this, over priced pile that can split open. Besides I lost what I thought was a good friend over NOTHING I did.
And as far as opening a buisness working on cars, or Evo's for that matter, it would never happen, cause working with snake competitors like yourself would cause major problems.
