skunk 2 manifold on a d16z6?
Does anybody in here have a skunk 2 manifold on a z6. I did a research and the only thing i could find was edelbrock on a y8. Is it worth buying it will it make a difference. Anybody have this setup and did u feel any horsepower with just bolt ons.

Re:
I have one on my D16Z6. Its nice. The butt dyno says its worth it. The car really feels like it rips alot better. I also upgraded the throttle body to match the plenum size(62mm).
*don't tell me my engine bay was dirty. I've heard it all before.

I run the IM on my z6 with a Holley TB. Its really nice. The skunk2 manifold is ALOT bigger adn nice than stock. Only think I dont like is that it comes really close to the fuel lines. Edelbroke is releasing one this year for the y6 that you can get pre drilled for a second set of fuel injectors and rail if you wanna run some serious horsepower. Im thinking about selling mine and getting it..looks really nice.

Are there any power gains from the OBX manifold? Cause I was debating on gettin one in the mean time till I can get an Edelbrock. Maybe I'll just save the 100 till I get the other 200 for the Edelbrock.

I feel alittle improvement. it's louder then b4, and eats more gas.

i guess someone told you the obx IM would make some MaD powEr Y0!, and you ended up paying too much money for it.

Stay away from those if your not going turbo. You'll lose a **** load of hp(yes even peak), bigger isn't always better especially intake manifolds. The JG, Y8 and skunk I would go with.

Not if you're like me and you're on a tight budget, thus having no money to waste in the first place! It helps to know that a lot of the parts are generally cheaper compared to the B-series.
Alternativehonda.com will show you just how much D-series can suck.

Re: skunk 2 manifold on a d16z6? (kKdARIAN)
i had to remove the iacv from the skunk im.cause it hits the brake lines every time you aply gas.
note that it don't have the iacv,you can see where it hits.

Anyone have the Y8 edelbrock on a Z6? (not trying to jack your thread)
Looking for a new IM soon, just want some opinions.
