Difference between....

Now then guys.

I was just wondering what if there is a difference between a 96 spec and 98 spec jdm dc2 2.5" manifold???

I have been looking at getting one and have noticed there is quite a price difference between the two. I do recall someone on itr-dc2 mentioning the only difference between them was the part numbers.

Can anyone shine light on this matter for me thanks

the exhaust manifold?
the 96 spec and 98 spec are different,
pretty sure the 96 spec is similar if not the same as the ek9 but the 98 spec is meant to be good, i have one and find it good noticed a difference form my ek9 one anyway.
the 98 spec mani is one of the best out there only toda and spoon i think are ahead of it in power gains, sould be wrong may be one or two others but its deff a good buy

Would personally get a 98 spec manifold for your UKDM Integra, or save up and get a second hand branded manifold.

Had a Tegiwa one on my UK Teg and it did make a noticeable difference not having such a small collector.
