The s4 and s5 LIM are basically the same. The middle sections ( between the LIM and TB) are very different and both pieces must be used together. In stock form, I think that the s5 manifold will yeild more power, but I have also heard (from a racer) that the s5 mainly helps with low-end power and doesn't do much for top-end power. I have done the swap on my car, but its not running right so I can't tell for sure if it has helped much. Going by the butt-dyno, I would say that it has some more punch up top, but the main difference I can tell is that the power band extends higher than with the s4 manifold.
