Default Intake manifold help

I have a JDM b16, and i am looking to get a ne wintake manifold, i ws thinking about the Skunk two manifold.......but before i buy anything i wanted to know what the best bang for my buck was in terms of intake manifolds.

I also have heard that on the JDM b16 intake manifold the IAC has a different bolt patern then the USDM......can anyone verify that for me, and let me know if my stock IAC with fit on the skunktwo manifold? And let me know if there is anything else i have to keep in mind while changing the manifolds.


Thanks

the skunk2 manifold was two bolt paterns for the iac so your stock iac will fit fine.

Unless you're flowing an incredible amount of air through your head, the skunk2 manifold is the best bang for the buck in terms of an upgrade over stock. the JG Edelbrock is a little overkill unless you're producing high HP.

I have the skunk2 and am pleased with it.

You could always look around for a Type-R IM which is very very similar to the skunk2.

I have heard mixed things about the skunk2 intake manifold. Some people say they are losing power and some gain power. I will be boosting soon and I know the gsr manifold sucks. Do you think a skunk2 or a Victor X manifold benefit me more?
