wuz up boys, looking to put an RBC manifold on an 05 type s and i had a couple of questions..does this manifold hurt my gas mileage bad being that it conducts air to fuel ratio?? second, you must get rid of the plastic in front of the valve cover with this because the piping is bigger correct? (i like the plastic)

 

unless you have k-pro dont get the RBC. and yes the plastic wont fit but if you want it just get the plastic cover off an 06 civic SI

Ditch the cover anyways it looks dumb and allows the engine to look well.....more like an engine. You won't see any gains from the RBC without tuning so go with K-pro before anything.

 

thanks doggg

 

I have the RBC with no Kpro. I noticed a difference, althouh it wasn't much. The biggest thing i noticed was the sound. But Im gettin Kpro in a couple of weeks. install was a pain!

Pretty straight forward manifold swap if you ask me. Just pull one off and put one on.

It's a pain to do in the car though because of limited space.

Sure, at the extreme top end. Everywhere else you lost torque.

That's why you need K-Pro.
