ive heard this as well, but im fairly certain it wont work. Besides the DSM manifold doesnt flow for shit on a DSM so a little ol honda motor its not gonna be any better. Spend the money now and get a decent manifold and you wont regret it

don't think the bolt pattern will line up.. let alone the exhaust ports matching up correctly. Buy a nice mani that will work properly.

Do you have any experience whatsoever with a DSM manifold?

yea actually, i had a non turbo lazer back in the day and did a fair amount of research on boosting it. Go head and take a look at DSMtalk.com im sure it wont be hard to find someone who would agree a aftermarket manifold would flow considerbly better then the stock one.

hf mani, adapter plate, t-25 or 16g, custom dp, dsm 450s, resistor box, 255 walbro fuel pump, dsm side mount IC, ic piping, oil lines, dsm bov, chiped ecu with a tune
you could do it for about a grand

Flows well enough for 300hp engines... I fail to see a problem. Guarantee it'll last longer than any of those cheap ass manifolds off of ebay.

On topic: I have a t-25, 450s, fuel pump, a few bovs, side mount, and ic piping if you're interested.
