RBC advice

I‘m about to order one of these rbc manifolds

https://monstermotorsport.com/catalog/product_info.php/honda-integra-dc5-rsim-k20-racing-intake-manifold-k20a-rbc-p-4573

I‘ve read that the ep3‘s slam panel needs to be cut to accommodate the new manifold, is this the same for the dc5?

Also, with the new design not needing a throttle body adapter plate, it there anything else I need to consider before fitting?

No cutting for DC5. However I do believe you lose your bonnet prop holder clip!

Yep, no cutting on mine and I've lost the clip.

better off getting a rbc

What‘s the difference?

I imagine the fitment is better as it's OEM Honda?

Yep no cuttinv lose the bonnet stay clip so fit some bonnet gas struts to clean up the bay!

I‘ve got one
No cutting but as mentioned the bonnet stay clip goes to make space

RBC looks great in the bay too

Just cut the front square part from the bonnet clip and it fits fine
