mysterious Lower intake mani

Long story short........... this is the lower intake manifold from my rx. Previous owner removed the actuators. I went on ebay and searched for one with the actuators still on it and they don't look the same. Mine actualy looks hacked up, the middle ports aren't even and the port under that doesn't look big enough and cut up too... wtf.

this is ebays LIM

and this is mine.

i will assume your car is an SE?

anyway, i am aware of 3 to 4 different 6-port manifolds that Mazda made for the 13B throughout the years. while i don't have my S3 and S4 manifolds handy for side-by-side comparison, i am willing to state that they would all have minor differences.

yes its an se. I went to mazda trix and looked at the gasket pics, and none if them fully match mine. One thing that throws me off is that little hole right above the middle ports with the line threw it does not even match the se gasket.

I don't think there is an opening in the gasket for that little hole with the line through it. I will confirm this later today for you. And, the ports look like someone tried port-matching them.
