just make sure u get a big vac to the brake booster. all the other vacuums dont matter how you put them. and the fuel rail goes with a bolt and nut. you need both. but honestly i never seen one like it.

i think their's a reason you got it for $20, it looks like a bag of smashed ********.

and i honestly think the stock y8 intake manifold would flow better. i wouldn't waste your time on that jank lookin thing. that's my 2 cents anyway lol

I don't see that intake doing much but breaking and giving you a headache and less flow. But if you do it PM me and I'll buy your Y8 manifold

so is it just that aftermarket intake manifolds do not help or just this no name manifold wouldn't be any better than my Y8 one?

Your exactly right. It doesn't seem that the no name manifold will do any better than your stock one.

Save your money, and get a skunk2, or blox, if you really want to upgrade your manifold.
