rs manifold to sti manifold

i have a 05 2.5rs would it be possible to swap out my intake manifold for the red sti manifold? or should i just start prepping my current manifold for powder coating?

Powdercoat your original... the STI manifold is not designed to be used in a naturally aspirated application...
