You are better off running an y8 mani then something like that.

It may or may not help and if so it wouldn't be much.

y8 is cheap and proven gain, what is your setup though as an intake mani might not be best bang for buck?

if you want to do an intake mani most any setup will be fine with a y8
linky for install

The truth is these aren't all that bad if your car is built for low end.This type of manifold allows high h.p. motors to be feed thier air supply quicker.The down side is that torque is usaully built up by using longer runners on the maniold.Thus why a Y8 would work better per a street application of a non boosted motor with a mid range power band.

Just a side note:
Longer runners on the intake manifold = cooler air entering the combustion chamber, and more torque.
Shorter runner on intake manifold=Warmer air entering the combustion chamber , less torque.
