Unless it's specifically ported and machined to work with your heads, you stand a good chance of losing power compared to a stock manifold. I'd pass.

Bada-bing. 100% correct.

Keep your stocker and what money you were going to spend on the intake put towards a 52mm tb or just have your stock intake opened up to accept a 58mm tb. Like stated they do not make more power over stock and even can hurt you power wise. Id sell mine but cant buy much more for my motor that costs $100-150
