Type II...
I got one and its already in my car...
Big thanks to Ken (desired_speeds) who did all the work from taking everything out to putting Type II in. Didn't take any pics yet but will post some as soon as I get home. (typing this from work.) Pics coming soon..
Sounds incredible, took my friend for a spin and he was surprised how it pulls at higher RPM's now..
On my way back home last night I rolled the windows down in the tunnel and punched the gas, what an awesome sound it makes now and definately feel the power at higher RPM. Now just waiting for the civic Short RAM to finish CAI..

ohh yah, run maybe 1/3 - 1/2 can of seafoam in there and change out the plugs. Throw the rest of the can into the gas tank, those injectors were pretty dirty.

Sense I am planing on doing this just a lil tight on money right now. I noticed that you moved some things compared to the old intake mani, there was a lil sensor on the top in the middle of the stock one where did you relocate that sensor or did you just take it off?

So here's the deal. When you swap intake manifolds, you have to swap the fuel injectors studs from the TL intake manifold. TL fuel rails will not fit on the legend studs. The legend manifold also needs an additional O-ring used as a spacer for the fuel injectors in the manifold. The TL has this extra spacer casted into the intake manifold from factory. This spacer is the O-ring lowest in the entire stack of fuel injector O-rings when you look in the Legend parts diagram. You SHOULD replace all of the injector O-rings and clean the build up off the injectors while you have everything apart. Do not risk putting old injector O rings back on if they have not been replaced recently because they can easily fall apart causing a fuel leak which could lead to a fire. I would highly recommend reserving a lot of time just for cleaning the intake manifold and intake ports in the heads. I was unfortunately unable to do a great job cleaning out the manifold before installing it onto Tony's car, but his manifold was not very dirty. Also, do not forget to take apart the EGR chamber and clean it out, including the pipe. It's a PITA to do it on the car with everything put back together. The Felpro intake manifold kit did not include a throttle body gasket, EGR camber gasket nor EGR pipe end gaskets. You must buy one of each separate, besides the EGR pipe gaskets which requires two. Felpro makes a throttle body gasket. I'm not sure if they make the EGR camber and pipe gaskets, but I would recommend getting these from the dealer. A gasket for the air suction pipe may also be needed depending on if you unbolted it or not. All 12mm bolts/nuts on the intake manifold should be torqued to 16 ft/lbs while all 10mm bolts/nuts should be torqued to 9 ft/lbs. There is no need to use any sort of silicon or sealant in addition to the paper or plastic gaskets.

apparently we don't have a pair pipe so it's an even simpler DIY...

just cleaning the IM tonight. did as much as i could with some simple green and a toothbrush. i'll get some wire brushes and carb cleaner tomorrow and finish it off. right now i have a million little cuts on my fingers and knuckles from the sharp edges of the IM and simple green BURNS.

This is the diagram for a TL intake manifold. I need gaskets 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9?
This is the TL EGR valve. I need 2, 6, 8 (2 of them), and 9?
This is the Legend Fuel Injector diagram. I need 4 (6 of them)? They're called injector insulators. There were some stuck in the Type II IM, one was hard, I'm assuming that's the seal ring (#2 in the diagram), and the other was squishy, I'm assuming that is the insulator (#4)? Can you confirm?
Which one is the air suction pipe? I didn't see it in any of the TL or Legend diagrams.
Thanks Ken!
