Ah, i kno Evan. "These pipes are done up to go along with our Aluminum Intake manifolds but can still be used with the factory intake manifolds as well." So I was curious if it really does fit our stock manifolds

This is the same part number as the OEM Y-pipe on the C32. It's just ported and teflon coated. Depending on you overall intake design and the tune, you should see gains (at least in theory).

I agree with Jake (loungn14), my first mods for my C32 are H/E, IC Pump, phenolic spacers, crank pulley and tune. I had the car over a year and half now and knock on wood no major issues.
