Nope, all 12 valves use similar manifolds. 24 valves have round ports instead of rectangle ports. The best flowing manifold would be something like an AFE Blade Runner or a Steed Speed ($$$).

I'd say unless you're looking to make big power, 400+ hp, it's a waste of time and money. If your stock one is cracked or warped and you need to replace it anyhow, then yes, id recommend something like an aftermarket 3 piece manifold.

I'm going to have to back up what fonder says. I'm pushing 275-350 hp right now and the factory manifold is doing great. As long as a person let's ro motor cool off gaffer pulling that stock manifold should last years upon years. I'm looking at the BD 3 piece manifold.
