Depends how big your pockets are...If it were me i would just buy the modified one off CRSX since it comes with everything and you can get a already modified one for the K20a...

a lot of k-series manifold don't work on the rsx, most of the ones that are coming out now are for k-swapped cars

It just depends on your goals for your car. I think the skunk2 mani is made for more built motors and the rbc is made for less built motors. But IMO i would go with the RBC mani cause you can always bore it out more like the skunk2 mani and its alot cheaper than the skunk2.

I believe the skunk2 is better being they took forever to design and release it. You don't need an adapter and the intake fits better. Plenum is beefy and runners look good. But the price is high. For the best bang for your buck I'd stick with the RBC. But if you have the coin and want to be a ballar I'd do Skunk2

i have a skunk 2 manifold, skunk 2 70mm throttle body, and skunk 2 fuel rail going in as soon as its nice out up here in canada. if you got the coin, get the throttle body too, it looks like a complete package and no adapter. nobody has mentioned that the skunk 2 intake manifold comes with a heat shield gasket as well. be easy on me please, im a noob...
