Yes, but you really want a VTEC manifold for best power.

I see them on ebay all of the time. The last one I saw ended at $50. I'd check the classifieds on HAN too.

It'll definitely bolt up. And it'll save you some time, but that's about it.

I hear all of the time that the Y8 IM is the best flowing D-series IM. If I were you, I'd just get the Y8 one. Unless you need to drive the car now, then I'd put the current one on now and eventually put the Y8 one on.

Definately worth getting the new one. I'd get it right when you install because a Y8's throttle body position requires a different style of intake.
