I've got a chance to buy 1 of these @ a good price & just wondering if anyone can tell me something about them good or bad. It would be going on a stock D16Y8 w/ just bolt-ons...CAI, header, hi flow cat & cat back exhaust. I'm sure it would work well on a turbo set up but just wanting to know if it would give the N/A motor just a little more ooompff. I would think just about anythings gotta be better than the stock mani. Thanks.

bingo.
whats up with all this sohc craze.

 

sohc=cheap and readily available, and even if it gets stolen, you aren't out by much!

 

the skunk2 manifold for the D series isnt much of a boost manifold at all.

 

i've heard alot of ups about it. but like said, if you want a boost manifold, go with something known for it, like venom

Keep the stock y8 manifold and get a bigger tb and have the manifold port matched. Should be plenty for boost.

 

ive heard of people actualy loosing power with that on the engine unless you do something that will call for it like turbo, cams ect... i wouldnt bother but thats jut my .02

 

checkin in here with the S2 mani..........................

well, i can notice that the top end pulls pretty good with a CAI an 62mm TB. If i had a good cam and some more tuning on my AFC, i could see some better numbers. my car dyno'd at 119/102 with the S2 IM. Overall, i think this would be a good manifold if there are D series guys out ther who are goin to go all motor.................If u boost it tho, go with the Edelbrock manifold because the shorter runners will benefit more with a boosted motor.........................
