Default used skunk2 intake manifold price question...

i was considering buying a used skunk2 intake manifold for my civic..

is $160 too much too pay for that? a new one from ebay retailers goes for about $230 to the door.

also, any recomendations on head, exhaust, and intake gasket replacements? which ones to get, basicly. should i just go to honda and pay for theirs? my engine is pretty much stock d16y8 head on a y7 block, ebay intake, 8.5lbs flywheel...

you don't need the skunk2 manifold. You will get the same performance for 1/8th the price on a stock manifold.

I really can't see upgrading the intake manifold on a D-series unless you have a lot of supporting mods (turbo, turbo, turbo, or turbo), and a top-mounting manifold or one of the various other weird/shitty ones.
