Yes and yes.

Because it didn't have an AT option.

As for the rest... if it was just intake, fine, but the header was also changed along with ECU tuning.

It's not just a material change on the intake.

Yep! The whole intake system was changed.


Not sure why everybody wants to try and find some hidden, weird, mysterious ulterior motive for the changes when emissions and mileage is right there in their face.


Look at the NOX on the auto vs the manual.
The other numbers are lower but what would the new intake system have done to them?
