Just as it says. I know we are gonna beat this one to death but just trying to figure out if it's worth anything.

Soon as I get around to dynoing the car, I'll be happy to post the results. The only thing I changed was the manifold itself. I wasn't looking for a real power improvement but I had the rear intake manifold leak that I swear was due to the stock intake not being "true". The stocker has been off the car 3 times and installed by 3 different people which doesn't quite add up. Next dyno day in my area and I'll throw it on and see what happens.

My car leaks oil at the rear also. The sealer tends to last about 3-4 years, before the heat from the EGR pipe cooks it to death, and it stops sealing. The car is approaching 12 years old now, and it's due again. This will be the 3rd time the manifold has been off.

I wanted to fix it over the winter, while the car was in storage, but the Permatex Product Tech that I spoke with said that the ambient temp in the garage needed to be at LEAST 45-50 for the RTV to cure. That didn't happen until 2-3 weeks ago, and I wanted to drive the car a little, but I despise fluid leaks.

I ordered a gasket set today, maybe I'll fix it the weekend after next...The prediction for here is SNOW AGAIN, for Easter!

I was just getting used to 50's

I haven't even checked behind my intake yet I might have to. Mine looks like it's been off before, but I don't know when since I only got the car 1000 miles ago, there abouts.

if weather is good this weekend, taking it to a dyno day and will post results. Only trouble is it may not tell much since its at a different dyno than the car was first dyno'd. Supposedly the dyno I am going to is +/-5% of a dynojet. Results to come.

cool, is the intake the ONLY mod youve done since the last dyno?


from the looks of the manifold, i cant see how it gains a whole lot, but heh, who ever looked at a set of heads from the outside and guessed how much they flowed?

It's the only "significant" mod I've done. I bought this because I think my stock manifold is not true or is warped in some manor. I've had the rear intake leak replaced 3 times. Twice to fix just that issue and once during the heads/cam swap and it was still doing it. Hopefully I'll pick up a few ponies for fixing this issue. Oil pressure is much much higher now without the leak which is nice. It was never low enough for concern but it should be a bit higher. Again, these will prob not come out to be perfect condition results but I haven't seen any others so maybe it will be useful.

They all leak from the back, from what I understand. Since the EGR is there and heats up the intake, killing the seal but also causing minor warping.
