D16Y7 Intake Manifold Swap
The intake manifold on the d16y7 is so whack. I cant install a front strut bar on my car because the intake pipe gets in the way. I was wondering if I could just swap on another intake manifold, im thinking off of a d16y8 vtec. Would it work? Is it a direct bolt on or will I have to do some modifications?
