segermech, if you haven't ordered the dealer manifold, check on rockauto.com 1st. $205 is mighty steep, might be better off going header by that time, let alone adding the heat shields. Not sure if rockauto has the Sammy manifold, but last i saw they have the Trackick both 8v & 16v, LOTS cheaper than that. Worth a shot.
Also, does anyone know, will an 8v 1.6l manifold fit a FI 1.3??
