My friend is selling his ex manifold to me for 25.00 and I always see people saying to throw the ex mani on the y5. Honestly what gains can I expect from the manifold.

look for mods in my sig

Um...there are no mods in your sig

 

for $25 might as well

 

I felt a difference bolting up the y8 manifold. A little less acceleration at the bottom but much better pull up top.

 

Thanks Bauley.

to swap or not to swap???

LOL sorry for the bashing

But yeah definitely swap...if its only 25 bucks...what do you got to lose?

The hx and ex manifolds have similar shape but I wonder what differences in wiring and installing are different between the two? Did you ever get a updated time in the 1/4 with the new intake mani on there Bauley?

Um I never swapped manifolds (the link above wasnt mine)...when I did my mini-me the head had the IM attached to it...so I've had a Z6 head/manifold the whole time

 

Oh my bad. The manifold is from a z6 that I am getting. Its pretty much the same as the y8, corrrect?

Um, no. The Y8 i believe is much better than the Z6.

 

Is it worth the time and effort to put the z6 on instead of the y5?

 

just put my ex tranny in. shorter gears. i feal good low end. but my motor lacks topend. overall. i like it.

 

the z6 is a good IM. But the Y8 is considered the type R mani for the D series. I has Shoet fat runners and that is the only noticable diff betwwen the two.

I was just wonderin how much an increase the z6 intake mani would be compared to my y5? I wish I had the y8 manifold but im getting the z6 for $25.00.

 

bump

 

i wanna know what IM i should put on my 1.5 and how much i should pay, and plus my boy was gonna give me EX headers?? would that be worth the effort

"Yo my boy is gonna give me ex headers" Can you sound any dumber? First of all...as stated above the Y8 manifold is the "type R manifold" for D-series...so wouldnt that be the one to use? I put an EX exhaust manifold on my DX and didn't notice too much of a difference...i'd spend the money on a DC 4-1 or a high-end bisimoto or smsp HEADER.

 

i saw that one coming.

Flame suit is zipped waitin for action

Bauley you have been in an up and down mood today. Here have a

hey hxvtec, have you had a chance to see how much your ex tranny has helped out your times in the quarter? I just installed mine but have not had a chance to run it yet.

Besides that...I was knocked back to 98% for being a dick...and then after many apologies and talking and with Tom and George Knighton they said i'd get my 100% back and somehow I ended up with 101%

 

I just got this picture off ebay of a D16Y5 HX manifold:


From here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...14666
Also confirmed here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...08749

Now here is a D16Y8 manifold (the type R manifold for D-series):


Are they the same?????

If the Y5 and Y8 manifolds are the same...and the Y8 manifold is the best D manifold...I'd throw that Z6 manifold in the garbage!

 

i knew they looked the same but all the other HX guys I talked to said to change out the manifold for the y8. Can anyone confirm if they are infact the same manifold or what are the differences???
