Well from expirence manifolds aren't as potent for a gain when using boost. People use the Holley or fast and pick up between 10-30 hp, which yea is a gain but when you're spending 700-1000 dollars on an intake I would rather turn the boost up 1 psi and get the same result. I don't think it will matter which intake you use they'll all be near the same result but the truck one might give you a bit more torque since that's what it was designed for.

My fault I didn't catch the exhaust part makes sense now. Should be the same result though each are designed about the same I believe the only real difference would be length because the different heights of the vehicles. I would reccomend going with a set that has the most room.

The OEM SS manifolds are 1/3 of the weight and a better design IMO. Any cheapo aftermarket heavyish gauge manifold with a collector style merge instead of the "log" design is also better. Thats the route I'd go.
