Were you looking for the low or did you get the wrong one??
Iam almost positive thats a low manifold.
Your also going to need an adapter flange unless your welding it in and then porting it .

other than that it cool make sure you grind the lil tabs off it looks alot better.

Looks like a waste of time to me if you wanted the HO, but at least you have the 56mm TB. If you need to know about the HO manifold you can't fit your hand between the runners in the middle.

yes i do realize it is a LO manifold. i didnt realize it at first at the junkyard, but i did before i posted the pics on here. i am still very satisfied with it. besides, this still flows tons better than the stock 2.4 mani, plus looks tons better under the hood.



i'm baaaaack!!

Before you powdercoat it, grind it as smooth as you can. IE, get rid of the mounting points for the MAP and cables that you don't need. You will happier in the end. I polished mine:



The easiest way to tell an LO from an HO is the plenum. The HO is the same size throughout, while the LO tapers off as you get further away from the throttle body.

The two top manifolds are HO's, and the bottom two are LO's. Look at the two on the right, and how much skinnier the plenum is. I never noticed a difference in runner size as someone mentioned above me, but I just found that the easiest way to differentiate the two.
