who told you that? to verify, get some starting fluid and during idle spray the base of intake manifold and if you hear idle changing its a leak... gaskets are cheap if thats the problem, check for cracks too...

You could verify this diagnosis by spraying intake/carb cleaner around the intake ports and listen for an RPM change. This doenst always work.
I would guess the set is about 40-60 bones.

sometimes the engine will melt these down where they are of no use . also people who sell intake manifolds remove them or reuse them .

they should not be cost much . try to hit up fast , they are about 40 or use to be . i have seen on some intakes were folks have used the black rtv gasket maker but have not run it myself . folks go to many lenghts to save cost .

though if you have to spend a lot you might be better off buying a used intake and just use the gaskets off of it and then sell it .

the best way is with a scan tool looking at the fuel trims you can find leaks you can not hear.
