Default ITR or Skunk2 IM

I am looking to replace my JDM B16 IM with either an ITR im or a Skunk2 version. Which is easier to install and which gives more gains? Also, what are the price differences.

the itr guys say that the hp gain from the skunk2 over the itr manifold is minimal, if any, which makes sense because the skunk2 is essentially just a copy of the itr.

i believe that the itr is slightly cheaper, so i would go with it.

I'd go with the ITR manifold. Theyre a lot cheaper and perform just as well as a Skunk2. Ive heard that the Skunks runners are a little shorter but i dont feel its enough to justify the higher price. Just my opinion.

I could set something up that way. I.E. ITR cheaper than skunk2.
The intake ports on the Skunk2 are not finished and need to be port matched to the head, where the ITR is already almost 1mm larger.

i think that the Skunk2 manifold will be the easiest. you can reuse the stock sensor from the back of the B16 manifold, which will save the headache of finding an OBD2 unit.
