My STI 1 had no red manifold, but did have intercooler w/s, STI logo seats, STI strut brace, plaque under bonnet.
If it is a version 1 this site will be of interest to you :

A friend of mine had an early Sti, wasnt red top. Since hes a mechanic, last summer he stripped his whole engine, tarted it up and powder coated it blue. Hence he has a Sti with a blue top engine

see http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm
The 7 digit "applied model" code found on the vehicle identification plate inside the engine bay is decoded in the following way.
1. Series code G=Impreza S=Forester B=Legacy etc.
2. Body type F=Wagon C=Sedan
3. Engine type 8=2.0L Turbo
4. Year code A=MY93 B=MY94 C=MY95&96 D=MY97 (facelift) E=MY98 F=MY99 G=MY00
5. Number of doors 2=2 door coupe 4=4 door saloon 5=5 door wagon/hatch
6. Model type 8=WRX 7=RA type E=Sti D=Sti Type R & RA
7. Transmission D=5 Speed Manual AWD P=4 Speed Automatic AWD
