I tried an aftermarket one on my P10 and it only worked the first time...only put on 10K miles on it and it would pass the second time around. Slapped on my OEM with 125K+ miles and it passed with flying colors (this was 2 years ago before the VE).


I would buy that manifold and swap it over every two years. Easier to swap intake manifold than swapping whole engine. I thought Mac wanted to start fabbing those up...

That's what I thought too? You should ask him about it since you're local to him. lol.

hmm, looks like more work! too bad I don't have a VE engine sitting around, otherwise I'd start fabbing something to make all the emissions stuff fit.

What does the manifold look like? Does anybody have pics? I guess the visual seems to be more of the concern.

Im guessing a de intake doesnt fit on a ve. Cuz that would make things a whole lot easier

Nope, doesn't fit. Not even close.

The B13s are almost considered actual "CLASSICS" which will no longer need inspections.. I believe anything that is 22 or 23 years old is considered a classic and will No longer Require an inspection. Only a Outside Visual. Lights and stuff..

Superglue the egr stuff you need into place so it looks like its all there for the visual

or duct tape

Well i dont think they could tell the difference with a visual with stuff just glued into place. Usually the people at smog are fucking idiots.
