I just had my stock one bored out, it improved midrange power and freeway pull quite a bit :thumbup:. If you don't have the F22A6 intake manifold, GET IT. It makes a huge difference... I can't tell if yours is an LX or EX...

The F22B2 I don't know about... my knowledge is limited to 4th gens. I paid only $60 for my manifold from a salvage yard and swapped it in and oh my god what a difference. The second runners open at 3500rpm and the car just screams and pulls great up to redline, much better than with the stockie. I have pictures of the difference between the two manifolds, quite inpressive. Good for a factory rated 10hp, which is REAL hp. Hands down the best bang for the buck for an older 4th gen...

Difference between the two. F22A4 left, F22A6 right:

thtas not what he meant, i was asking about the f22b2 because thats what my 5th gen has, if you have a 4th gen LX, you want to look for 4th gen parts

the F22 A6 is what you need. . .

Just learned something today. I knew my F22A6 has a better 4-2-1 exhaust, but I didn't know that the intake looked so different. Cool! :thumbup:
