Default B20B Giraffe intake manifold in Civic

I looked everyone online and i keep seeing people say "use an LS manifold" which is obviously the better choice. right now i have an LS manifold but no fuel rail or iac valve and i have a fully loaded ready to drop in B20B giraffe intake manifold but i know it wont clear the hood. Can i use hood raisers to clear the manifold and if so how big of hood raisers should i use?

About 8 inches. LOL. You will not get it to clear a hood. Your options are to either complete your LS intake manifold like everyone has told you or run the Giraffe with no hood.

Cut the hood where giraffe hits and you’re solid!

Hmm.... destroy the hood of the car or spend a few bucks getting the correct parts. I love this town.

OP, I saw a post on a local FB group in the last week for a fully loaded P75 manifold with sensors, injectors, rail, and a throttle body for $60. Look around and just get the correct stuff, LS parts do not carry as premium a price as vtec parts do. Do it right the first time or spend twice as much in $$$ and frustration when you have to go back and redo it all later.
