dont know that much about it, but what I do know is that its the Type R of D series manifolds, along with the y8 exhaust manifold. They are the best flowing manifolds that came stock on D series engines. Also people have been known to lose power when ugrading from y8 to skunk 2 manifolds. Just look it up man

i have a complete y8 manifold for your y7 if you need to /shameless plug. yea the performer x is nice but if your not gonna build you y7 for something bigger and better just go with the y8 manifold. when i did it, it was all plug and play.

The Y8 manifold sucks. PERIOD.

The Z6 flows better up top. The Y8 will provide more midrange.


The skunk2 manifolds runners are too long to make it worth buying.

That IM is a boost IM, if you're not pushing PSI and revving up really high, it's going to do you no good.
