That's Dorman junk. Go to one of the links I provided above to get the correct intake.

So the Dorman part is more restrictive flow-wise than the stock manifold?

Why do people put them on these cars then? Geez. I suppose maybe the one that was in the car from the factory had a failure with the plastic coolant cross-over pipe and they put the Dorman one on with the metal cross-over and thought they'd save a few bucks. Dumb.

Yes and yes. It's cheap and does not flow like the OEM. You will be down on power with the Dorman.

Well thanks everybody for solving the mystery. I now know I have TWO manifolds to throw in the trash and a purchase to make.

That kind of looks like a Dorman Replacement hope not for your sake but that's what it looks like
