What makes the Type-R so much like the LS?
I.E. - when buying an intake or exhaust, Type-R and LS are listed as the same.

 

It's mainly the way they fit. If you look at the intake, the pipe is shapped basically the same coming off the throttle body. On the GSR, the intake pipe comes out from lower because of where the throttle body sits on the dual runner manifold.

 

Does that mean i can order a AEM CAI for an LS and it will fit perfectly? If so i'll order it because it's at least 20 bucks cheaper!!! I dunno, maybe they are different, but if not, i'll start ordering LS stuff hehe . Anybody Know if it'll work??

unless you want the non-3" diameter piping i suggest you get the ITR aem i just sold mine actually. also, i have a n1 exhaust for an ls sitting in my garage. not a good fit at all, i think they designed it in mind of the LS, because the control arm for the ITR is just way too big and you have to SHOVE, literally SHOVE the exhaust through that little hole. I don't know about other things, but thats my experience with LS and ITR interchangable parts.

 

Yeah, the only problem with using LS and Type R parts like that is the Type R sway bar and stuff is a lot bigger then the LS.

 

Oh Thanks ED..... nice meeting you at the Meet!! Have any pics of it?? post em or email them if you have any. Well anyways thanks for the reply.. NO LS parts for me hehe

hey tom, no prob. if you go back to the website, they have a page for the pictures. man i feel so bad for that cobra R. anyways, see ya around!

 

Nah, the Type R is just a rebadged LS, same engine and everything, they just turn up the power toggle that's on the side of all B series motors, and slide a bar under the seat from "comfort" to "performance" handling. I swear.
