Default 01 Z28 LS6 Intake Manifold Cracked...What To Replace With

Just discovered that my ls6 intake manifold is cracked on my 01 Z28. Should I replace it with an eBay found used ls6 intake or one of the new dorman's?

I would also be willing to upgrade but I don't think it'd really be worth it without doing headers and a cam.

Is it worth trying to repair? Some good epoxy might save you $3-400.

epoxy's not gonna do it I'm afraid. Found just about the last decent used ls6 intake off a 2002 Z28. Got raped on the price though...$400. It better come in decent condition. Thanks for the input fellas.

Most Marine grade epoxies would have repaired the crack...& not all of them are that expensive.

I'll take the cracked one off your hands if you want to get rid of it!
