All I seem to have gained from reading older topics on inlet manifold types is conflicting and vague information! So here come the questions:
From what I know/have read, correct me if wrong:
RBC
Popular
Short runners and large plenum
Best for top end power
RRC
OEM on FD2
Best for mid and top end power
Wider and longer runners versus the RBC
Answering my own question would lead me to think that the RRC is marginally better than the RBC but keen on thoughts of others. I imagine bolt ons and how good your map is are also factors in opinions but appreciate any advice!
Cheers.
- Aside from approx. £100, what's the difference between an RBC and an RRC?
- If money was not a factor, what would you go for and why?
- Does it make a difference choosing an RBC or RRC for a DC5 that is predominantly a daily driver as opposed to track-focused?
- Are there any fitment issues that would make one better than the other e.g. trimming the slam panel, relocating A/C pipes or other?
- Are Skunk2 inlet manifolds preferred again? If so, what and why?
