The Type S intake manifold is the same as JDM DC5-5
Though the casting quality is inferior to the JDM item, the results on the dyno are identical. (I have a JDM DC5-R intake on my Type S with no gain)

The std type S exhaust is larger than the Type R.
Hense the type R responds a little better to an exhaust change.

Other changes are to the front suspension.
JDM DC5-R alloy arms fit directly to the Type S.
The AUDM Type R uses a smaller ball joint & requires a hub change to use the JDM alloy arms.
When alloy arms are used, JMD front swaybar can now be used... (OEM & aftermarket)
