the skunk2 manifold is pretty much exactly the same as the ITR manifold, not really worth it.

ok i have a skunk2 on my boosted gsr, but the thing is the skunk2 is just a type r replica for gsr's and ls motors, i want to go with the edelbrock because it has way more air flow which is needed in turbo applications. if your boosting dont waist ur time or money on the skunk2 and push for getting the edlebrock intake. basically the skunk2 is just a stock version of a type r ya know what i mean.

Next in line is the intake manifold. For those of you who want OEM, you want the D16Y8, often referred to as the Type R manifold for the D series. It has somewhat short and fat runners and a large chamber to allow the air to distribute to each cylinder properly. The Y8 IM has the common horizontal throttle body. Here is a link Courtesy of VTC_CiViC with a complete how-to: http://www.makuragi.s5.com/civic_99/Y8maniswap/ NOTE: This will not work for the D17's. Honda had the bright idea to make it a return-less fuel system. Recent research has developed aftermarket IMs for the N/A SOHC. Edelbrock is at the top of the list on this one. Not only does it fit better than the Skunk2. You do not have to raise the fuel pressure to get more power on the Edelbrock IM like you do have to with the Skunk2 IM. Lastly, there has been a recent interest in taking motorcycle Individual Throttle Bodies and attaching them to an OEM intake manifold cut at the runners. Find an example at http://www.homemadeturbo.com

So, I'd say Edelbrock too.

Edelbrock is one of the best D-series intake manifolds money can buy off the shelf

Some more information for you

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">On the dyno the Civic baselined 113.0 horsepower then picked up an additional 5.7 horsepower with the Performer X manifold giving it a peak of 118.7. Most of the power was realized 5900 to redline with a few extra ponies gained from 3200 to 4500. Torque was also picked up in the mid range section as well as the high rpm area. Peak output started at 93.7 @ 6200 rpm and with the manifold the torque hit 96.8 at the same rpm level.</TD></TR></TABLE>
