Yes, they do make hoods amongst other things, you just need to actually call or email them, and yes, Skunk2 does make manifolds for the type-r, it's just that no one in their right mind would ever buy one, as they are a direct replica of the Type-R manifold, but tend to have a smoother internal consistancy. ie, big waste of money, unless you want just another toy to say you got something. For a quarter of the price you can have the stock one extrude honed and achieve much better results. The intent of the Skunk2 manifold was for the B16A and the B18C1, for the B16A so it would have larger promaries along with a larger plenum and accepts larger throttle bodies than stock. For the B18C1 so that it would eliminate the dual runner setup and shorten the intake runners for better mild horsepower applications. For the B18C5, they made an application just becuase the B16A head casting just happens to be the same, so they could use the same manifold. It makes a good replacement if you even some how ruin yours, but other than that, it doesn't make for a good replacement of the stock, not for the money any way....
