I also bought the second one. I came into 2 problems. The manifold hits the water neck and had to be ground down a little to fit. The manifold also hit the alternator bracket, both had to be ground down to fit. Other than that, it's a very nice piece. Can't wait to drive it and see how it is.

The manifold is on a b16 in a 94 civic hatchback. Another problem I ran into was my throttle cable bracket hitting the intake air temperature sensor. It's on the plenum right underneath where the throttle cable bracket mounts. Other than that it is a very nice manifold.

The Victor X isn't a bad choice.. it's a little more expesive but I think the castings are nicer and it puts a little more power up top.

If you use a ITR throttle cable and bracket with your Skunk 2 manifold there will be no issues, it will clear the air temp sensor properly. I am using a wicked industries blox manifold on my gsr head and had no fitment issues at all.
