Cobra Jet on a 2015 Automatic?

[nocturtle]

H

Hey guys.
sorry maybe im just dumb and haven't seen the full post. but everything i am seeing says a Cobra Jet manifold wont work on a 2015 - 17 Automatic car.
I have seen at least one person with an automatic have a cobra jet on their car so i am wondering why websites selling the manifold say that it wont work .
I know that Autos have the extra vacuum line but typically that hooks up to the intake tube and not the manifold am i correct?

Any help with this is great.
Thanks.

Found this on the VMP site today. It seems the new style cobra jet manifold is missing the extra inlet needed? May have to find the old style instead if there is no work around.

No i had a CJ mani on my yellow 2016 Auto car.

What cold air intake are you using?

I had a PMAS intake on mine with the VMp twin 57mm TB.

I also used 2 little blue mushroom fitlers on the valve covers.

You dont need to buy an "install kit"

Just CJ mani, Throttle body, Cold air kit, and I used LU47 injectors and was tuned by Shaun at AED.

That setup was a blast on E85 with 8k rpm shifts.

That was the old CJ manifold though. The old ones worked no problem but it seems they were discontinued. The new version is what seems to be the issue with autos.

This is what was on the VMP site in regards to the new style manifold. I don’t really know much about them though. I’m guessing it’s a vacuum line or something?

Nice set up btw that’s what I want to run soon

Some other pics showing the new and old manifolds. New one is ugly :(

Functionally there is zero difference unless im mkssing something here.

IIRC the lid emblem is different thats it

Still wondering if this setup will work with 15-17 auto GTs?

That just means the vent tube for the transmission. You can just zip tie it to something.

“Automatic Transmission requires slight modification”

From your listing description what modification is required for the gen 2 automatics besides the hood clearance ?
