the 16v manifold WILL NOT fit on an 8 valve engine. there is, however, a dual outlet 8v manifold.

I believe the 16v manifold will fit up to an 8v head. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me. The 16v manifold is a 4 into 2 and the downpipe is a 2 into 1. This should help the 8v motor breath much better and you won't have to deal with the 8v manifold/dowmpipe connection which I have heard can be a pain in the ass.
