My bro needs to replace his top exhaust manifold from his Type-R. We found one but is there a way to really assure that it is really from a Type-R. Number stamp, size etc? We dont' want to have a manifold from a GSR or a B16 one.

 

It won't matter. The upper sections, if not 100% identical, are virtually indistinguishable from other versions. It is the lower half that is different.

Weight savings.

I bet they could have saved a lot on freight by just giving us tubular exhaust manifolds but I guess they needed to part with (a lot) of crappy rusty iron. </TD></TR></TABLE>

don't worry, we got tubular, they're gash too
