Default Any one pulled their fast intake apart? whats involved with resealing it?

I am thinking about pulling mine apart to open the throttle body area up a little and I was wondering what was involved? I have a brand new complete 78mm fast and I also bought a used 78mm top sheel to port. Whats involved with resealing when I am done?

I pulled mine apart over xmas. The top shell is easy to seal, really don't need anything except line up the stock gasket. If you pull the middle from the lower shells then you'll need a lot of RTV. They are "glued" together at the bottom of the ports.

i put burst panels in mine last week, yes you need rtv for the bottom, and i had to get a new seal for the top, comes as a long one piece you have to cut it to go around everything using a little rtv at the intersections.

do you guys sell the intake gaskets that seal the intake ports. I don't want to reuse the ones on my stock intake on the fast intake.
