Damaged LS6 intake - take a look
I purchased an LS6 intake off the trader from a member on here. When I got it and opened it up today, one of the ports was cracked and you can see it pushing on the gasket where it's deformed. It has a small chunk missing around the port. The bottom of the box didn't have any type of padding where the bottom of the intake broke through. Take a look at the pics and tell me if you think it will be ok. Any potential for a vaccum leak? I guess the main problem would be if I ever decide to sell it, I'll have to advertise it as cracked on one of the ports. I already paid toward the high end of what these are going for used.
Here is with the gasket removed and you can clearly see a chunk missing out of the bottom of the port.
Here is what the bottom of the box looked like where it broke through. No padding or anything on the bottom of the box between the intake.

This was my intake and I take full responsibility for the damage. It should seal just fine with the new gaskets and I will be more than happy to provide a small refund to pay for the new gaskets at least.
I will take it up with Fedex on my end and apologize to the buyer for any inconvenience.
