Since 1994, Skunk2’s led the industry with cutting-edge designs, technology, and race-proven products. Our extensive R&D facilities allow us to produce the highest quality, best performing parts for your vehicle. Each Skunk2 product is designed with advanced 3D modeling software by Skunk2 engineers at our Southern California headquarters. Leading-edge processes like Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis ensure maximum performance and durability. Rapid prototyping allows us to quickly produce test versions of various products for further analysis. Prototypes are then tested using state-of-the-art dyno equipment and then proven on the race track. Finally, multi-axis CNC processes and precision welding are employed to produce the finest parts possible.

As part of Skunk2’s commitment to developing the best parts possible, we’ve remained actively involved in various forms of motorsports through technical partnerships, sponsorships, as well as with our own race vehicles for more than 15 years. Since 1994, Skunk2’s continued to secure a number of drag racing and road racing records and championships, including the title of the world’s first 10-second naturally aspirated Honda. Racing provides us with the data necessary to produce high-performance parts that utilize innovative designs, advanced materials, and cutting-edge manufacturing methods. Today we continue our tradition of creating leading-edge products and subjecting them to rigorous tests, both on the track and the street.

You know that a larger bore throttle body will help improve air flow. But when the intake manifold's opening isn't as large as the new throttle body's bore (it almost never is), performance gains will be small. Unlock your engine's full potential when swapping to a larger bore throttle body. Learn how to properly port-match your intake manifold and remove the restrictive step that's created when the throttle body and intake manifold openings don't match up. ... [Read more →]

Honda’s RBC intake manifold is popular for a reason. It’s a relatively simple and inexpensive bolt-on that yields impressive power gains. It's well optimized for relatively stock K-series engines, which means improving upon it isn’t easy. So when Skunk2 released its Pro Series Intake Manifold for K-series engines, the speculation as to whether or not it would outperform Honda’s RBC wasn’t surprising. Skunk2's goal was to design a manifold that would perform well on highly modified engines as well as stock ones. Although the RBC manifold performs well on relatively mild engines, once compression ratios, displacement, and cam timing are increased, its performance is extremely limited. Fortunately, the dyno doesn’t lie, and Skunk2 is happy to present the definitive results of nearly a year’s worth of testing. ... [Read more →]

Skunk2 is proud to introduce its Pro Series Intake Manifold for Honda’s '06-'11 Civic Si in its signature Black Series finish. Similar to Skunk2's already popular K-series Intake Manifolds, Skunk2's engineers looked to the popular '06-'11 Civic Si’s RBC intake manifold for inspiration and went back to the drawing board. Each of Skunk2’s Pro Series Intake Manifolds for Honda’s K-series engines feature larger plenums and shorter, oversized runners when compared to the RBC, and are cast with thicker wall material, leaving room for further porting for high-horsepower applications. ...
