03 Civic Si EP3 Intake Manifold fit on 05 EP3?

[WhiteTiger]

I did some research and it turns out the Intake Manifold for 2002 - 2004 are interchangeable part #17100-PRB-A00

The part # for the 2005 is 17100-PRB-A02

There seems to be hundreds of Intake Manifolds sold for the 2002-2004 but looks like I am out of luck because I own an 05. Can anyone confirm this or know where I can buy an 05 intake manifold that ins't $400 lol?? Has anyone ever put on an 03 EP3 Intake Manifold to a 05 EP3?? Thanks!

The motor is the same (K20A3) for every USDM EP3, so I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

Based on what I have read, I know there is a difference between the EP3 and the base model Rsx manifold.
I'm not aware of any difference within the generation.

There the same as long as its both usdm.bolt right up.

The only difference between the 03 and 05 are the 05 got a 6 speed 5 lugs and a lsd trans. And better looking headlights but it's the same motor

Hmm those are some great points, I wish the part #s weren't different lol, I'm going to go to Honda tomorrow morning and ask but they never seem to have any answers
