Omar Cummings also scored for the Rapids in front of a record crowd of at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Colorado is now 5-2-1 at home this season.
Colorado (6-8-1) won for the first time since a 2-1 win over FC Dallas on June 1 and for just the second time in its last eight games.
New York (5-5-5) had its two-match unbeaten streak snapped and dropped to 1-4-3 on the road this season.
McManus opened the scoring in the 24th minute with his fourth goal of the year - which temporarily moved him into the team lead. Clark had the final pass on the play and set up an easy finish for McManus at the right post.
Ballouchy doubled the lead in the 36th minute with his first goal of the season in his first start of the year. Terry Cooke set the goal up with a cross from the right side and Ballouchy finished inside the right post.
Rapids goalie Bouna Coundoul made his only tough save in the closing minutes of the first half to stop a one-on-one chance from New York's Dave van den Bergh.
Clark then put Colorado up three goals four minutes into the second half on an unassisted goal, and Cummings moved into a tie with McManus for the team lead in goals in the 68th minute.
McManus and Ballouchy set up the goal to get assists and Cummings beat Red Bull goalie Jon Conway to the right post for his fourth goal of the season.
The four-goal win matched Colorado's biggest margin of victory this season. The Rapids also beat the Los Angeles Galaxy, 4-0, in their season opener.
Coundoul made just two saves for his fifth - and the team's sixth - shutout of the season.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
