I have been seing these around and I am really curious to what the differences/gains are, which model has which, and what do I need to intall them. I'm going junkyard hopping on sunday and I want to know for if I see one. Thanks!

The E36 manifold is said to be better because it uses short & long runners depending on engine speed. I don't think the E36 manifold fits onto the E30 M42 because of clearance issues with the bonnet.
