Worth replacing intake manifold?

Is it worth swapping the Y7 (6th gen) intake manifold to the Y8 Si manifold?

I'm thinking if I can find one cheap (<40 bucks), I'll do it... but is it worth the money?

But don't you have a D16Y8 already Sam???

Well, I'm wondering if that would be worth it as well. I got a D16Y7.....Boo...hehe

lol.. nah dave.. stupid sohc-no-vtec POS that honda puts out.. hehe.. that's why i said i'd take the short ram if i could creativly stuff it on my TB.. since mine faces straight up as opposed to sideways...

i still can believe that KSR (i think) had a full swap on a Y7 (my car) tranny, ecu, etc etc for under 5 bills... fooookin cheap yo!

oh crap then, this wont work then, cuz I thought the Si had the vtec engine which the TB faces sideways......My car's TB faces upwards as well. The Intake is for TB's that face sideways....Unless you want to do what I did....lol...

Better go correct my post now....

You mean B18C1 GSR? How are you going to control the secondary runners on the GSR IM with your ZC ECU?? I doubt the thing even bolts up to the ZC head.
