Default which intake manifold is better................?

wondering if anyone knew which intake manifold is better the z6 or the y8?

ive heard that the y8 is better but i wasnt sure if it was just personal opinion or fact.

All Dseries headers are interchangeable.

And about the manifold, people swear by the Y8 Mani for the Dseries, but I really dont know the facts.

z6 will probably *slightly* outperform the y8 in the upper rpm range, while the y8 will give you more power in the daily driving and midrange rpm's.

No hard, conclusive evidence as to how it affects output, but good information nontheless:

basically what jlacoy82 said is the general characteristic.

As a side, if you already have one or the other it's not really worth buying the other to get better performance. Just keep the one you have and be happy.
