I'm pasting this from another board I'm on. It is a review of manifolds I have used and installed.
Heres my intake mani review from the ones I've installed
OBX (D-Seies)- Pros- Its polished, and inside the collector at the beginning of each runner is a velocity stack. Great improvement over a DX/LX mani.
Cons- the throttle cable bracket on it is flimsy and not in the exact place, but it will work. Not all of them come with an EACV location, so you may need to swap to a TB with a mounted EACV. Also the vacuum ports are not flared at the ends
Edelbrock (D series)- Pros- Had ports for up to 8 injectors and direct nitrous, had axtremely long runners, and made a very noticeable power increase both N/A and turbo. comes with an EACV block off plate to accomodate different models
Cons-Due to the longer runner length the TB sits back further, which means a CAI or upper charge pipe needs to be altered a bit to make it back through the hole behind the headlight. Also anything mounted behind the mani the wasn't stock, needs to be moved or the mani may not clear (ex. amp fuse holders)
Skunk 2 Pro (D series) Pros- Looks great, fit good just like the Edelbrock, but it is not as long as the Edelbrock. Also had a very noticeable power increase.
Cons- Does not come with an EACV block off plate.
AEBS (Typhoon) B Series-Pros- Looks great, clean inside and out. Dynoed the best out of Skunk, Edelbrock, and ITR on the B series heads. Also has ports for nitrouse. All of the vacuum ports are moved to the backside for a cleaner install.
Cons- On the 1st gen B16 it will hit the alternator bracket, so you must shave down the left corner about 1/4"-no biggie', the underside is not polished like the top side is (you can't see it anyway once its installed)
There you have it, I'd like to do a B Series AEBS mani on a car
