Skunk2 Intake Manifold Clone/Imitation/Fake Alert

Imitation Skunk2 products had reach our country long ago and sell like no tomorrow. Skunk2 Racing had finally respond by making official announcement in their website. There are series of photos and comparison to identify the clone, and it does pin point our local Skunk2 clone. With this comparison I believe you don't even need sharp eyes to find that more than 90% of the Skunk2 out there in Malaysia, are all clone!

Skunk2 has greater clearance on the throttle body opening to allow porting up to 75mm.

Skunk2 has smooth intake runner while fake is V-shape.

Fake has irregular casting mark (2).

Fake has box with folding line.

I had identified most of the "Skunk2" selling online in Malaysia are clone. You can easily found the clone in Mudah, Zerotohundred, Lowyat.net, and even many of the "performance workshop"!! Clone manifold has poorer quality and performance compare to your stock standard manifold, so always insist on GENUINE and ORIGINAL performance parts.
