its very easy, i looked into and felt like i was being ignored also. the real problem is its ten times easier than you think so you assume no1 is telling you the full story.
all you needed to do is reroute some wires and re drill some holes to mount it to ours, its pretty dam easy. but not worth it if dezod is coming out with something.

Rep Power: 261 add whatever you want to it. I dun care. 
Im trying to make him send me like 3 or 4 extras to play around with. I think i could make some pretty badass manifolds.
Actually, i know i can make some pretty badass manifolds. There is no "i think" about it.

Rep Power: 261 oh definately. The GSR one was a BIATCH!!
I am going to cut the plenum off one and knife-edge the runners to allow it for a ton more flow. Ive done it before. Like when i did a Y8 manifold swap on my wifes 98 civic.
I ported the **** outta this manifold then put it on my wifes car after we turbod it. Man, it felt like adding an extra 3 psi of boost. It was great.
Hell, i tried to sell the manifold on here for like $50. But nobody wanted to buy it.

Rep Power: 261 I swapped the 98 civic LX vertical TB manifold for a D16Y8 one. But on the y8 one, i knife-edged the runners inside the plenum to enhance the flow a bit. It picked up quite a bit of power over the stock manifold. It seriously felt like adding an extra 3 psi.
It also helped out a lot NA (compared to the stock one).
Now i havent put that manifold on a D17, so i dont know the gains on it. But, i would think that it would be better than the stock manifold. I know i felt quite a difference with my GSR manifold.
