Can confirm, I swapped out the NB1 cast iron boat anchor manifold for one of these. The butt dyno says its worth the cost and effort. It really made the engine feel all around less anemic, doubly so above 4,000rpm. With the stock NB1 manifold it just seems to hit a wall at some point but this really lets her breathe.
The REAL reason I bought and installed one of these was not performance, but to save the $750 NB1 manifold mounted precat. With the failure rate on NB1 coil packs it was not something I was willing to risk. Just be aware you cannot reuse the NB1 EGR crossover tube with the NB2 manifold.
BONUS NACHOS! It will bolt right up to the NB1 downpipe!
It also fits like an OEM part because it IS an OEM part. There are literally no downsides to installing one of these.
