Intake Manifolds for LS, Coyote, K20 K24, 2JZ, EJ, VQ35, SBC & BBC

What Intake Manifolds This Collection Covers

Air distribution for performance engines

Intake manifolds distribute incoming air from the throttle body or charge pipe to each cylinder. This collection includes cast, composite, sheetmetal, billet, cathedral-port, rectangular-port, single-plane, dual-plane, turbo, and integrated intercooler designs.

Intake Manifold Port and Runner Design

Match the manifold to your cylinder heads

Port shape, runner length, plenum volume, throttle body opening, and injector placement all influence fitment and performance. Cathedral and rectangular LS ports are not interchangeable, and other platforms have their own flange and fuel system requirements.

Naturally Aspirated and Forced Induction Builds

Choose the design for the power goal

Single-plane and high-volume sheetmetal manifolds suit many high-rpm combinations, while dual-plane and long-runner designs can favor torque and street response. Turbocharged and supercharged builds require clearance for charge piping, fuel rails, and heat management.

Fuel System and Throttle Body Integration

Plan the supporting hardware

Confirm throttle body diameter, fuel rail compatibility, injector length, MAP sensor provisions, vacuum ports, and gasket requirements. A matched manifold package can save time when upgrading several related components.

Intake Manifold Fitment

Verify platform details

Check engine code, head casting, port layout, drive-by-wire or cable throttle, hood clearance, accessory drive, and emissions equipment. These details are essential for LS, Coyote, K-series, 2JZ, EJ, VQ35, SBC, and BBC projects.

How to Choose the Correct intake manifold

• Confirm the exact engine family, cylinder head casting, and intake port shape
• Match LS cathedral or rectangular ports to the cylinder heads
• Check runner length and plenum volume against street, strip, or road-course goals
• Verify throttle body bolt pattern, opening diameter, and drive-by-wire compatibility
• Confirm fuel rail mounting, injector length, and injector connector clearance
• Plan for MAP sensors, vacuum ports, PCV routing, and brake booster connections
• Check hood clearance, accessory drive clearance, and turbo or supercharger piping
• Order the required gaskets, bolts, seals, and throttle body hardware
• Review powerband expectations rather than selecting by appearance alone
• Confirm whether the part is emissions-legal or intended for competition use

Common Questions

What does an intake manifold do?

An intake manifold routes air from the throttle body or charge system to the engine cylinders. Its runner and plenum design affects airflow and the usable powerband.

What is the difference between a single-plane and dual-plane manifold?

Single-plane designs commonly favor high-rpm airflow, while dual-plane designs often support stronger low- and mid-range response on many V8 combinations.

Can I use a cathedral-port manifold on rectangular-port LS heads?

No. Cathedral-port and rectangular-port LS manifolds use different port shapes. Match the manifold to the cylinder heads.

Do I need a new throttle body with an intake manifold?

Some manifolds accept the factory throttle body while others require a different diameter, bolt pattern, or adapter. Check each product listing.

Will I need different fuel rails or injectors?

Possibly. Manifold mounting, injector height, and rail configuration vary. Confirm all fuel system components work together.

Are sheetmetal intake manifolds street friendly?

They can be, but their high-volume plenum and runner design are often selected for higher-output builds. Consider your intended rpm range and tuning.

What should I check for a turbo build?

Verify charge pipe routing, throttle body placement, fuel rail clearance, vacuum ports, heat management, and hood clearance.

Can an intake manifold add horsepower?

A correctly matched manifold can improve airflow and help support a power goal, especially with supporting components and appropriate calibration.

Do intake manifolds include gaskets and hardware?

Included hardware varies. Read the listing to see whether gaskets, fasteners, rails, sensors, or adapters are supplied.

How do I confirm intake manifold fitment?

Use the engine and vehicle filters, then compare cylinder heads, throttle body, fuel system, and accessory layout with the product notes.
