PRO GUIDE
High Performance M-8 Manifold
Big bore engines are all about the flow , more air in and more air out , anything that slows that down , robs horsepower ," says S & S Cycle ' s David Zemla . " The factory M-8 intake manifold does a decent job in stock form but starts getting in the way when trapped between 124 " and larger cylinders . The stock polymer unit is also less tolerant of the additional heat that a big bore engine can make at full noise . " The solution is the new S & S high flow cast aluminum manifold - a must have for top level performance in the M-8 platform . It adds 3-5 hp with a simple bolt on install and fits most M-8 models ( Softail and Touring ) from 2017 to 2021 ."
