Default d16z6 IM vs d15b7 IM ??

Quick Q

in the 92-95 civics,

the d16z6 and d15b7 intake manifolds are exactly the same correct??
or at least close to exactly the same.

I ask cuz they look the same,
and the helms manual uses the same diagram for them both.

thank yoU!

or is it just "better in different ways" ?

on the D15B7 intake, the runners go from oval, to round, the back to oval.
on the D16Z6 intake, the runners are oval the entire length

D15B7 intake.........



D16Z6 intake........



Notice where the runners split apart. On the D15B7 they split before the ridges, on the D16Z6 after the ridges.
