why is there only an intake for the manual and not th auto on the first gen?

 

transmission housing is bigger on the auto which makes it take up the room that the intake normally would occupy on the manual version of the vehicle. The intake I got for mine hardly fits and I have been thinking about making one, which you might want to try, using either the rigid type dryer ducting or exhaust ducting for water heaters. Unless you know a shop that can bend you one out of some type of metal like aluminum but your average exhaust shop might not want to do it as the bends will have to be more precise and there will be alot more of them than the typical exhaust as well.

 

best intake for our car is a custom one made by TurboViper:
