Default Ever see a ls6 intake crack here?

Decided to do a boost leak check on my car and found my intake cracked where #1 injector goes in. It's not a terrible leak but when you creep up to 10psi you can hear it, my air fuel readings have been good so it must have been cracked for a while. Trying to decide to upgrade to fast or just get another ls6

^^^THIS is EXACTLY why I REFUSE to buy a used LS6 intake from ANYONE, for ANY price, and will go to heads which allow me to use a BRAND SPANKING NEW factory LS3 intake (I don't trust Dorman's China junk either! ).

It was on the car when I bought it, must have always been cracked. It's just an odd place to crack, it's not like I'm running a ton of boost only about 10psi

I'm NOT blaming YOU, but it seems EVERYONE on here and their great grand aunt feels COMPELLED to push either 35 pounds of boost, or a 500+ shot through these, cracking the **** out of them, and then trying to sell them on here for a premium.

^^^NO, I need a NEW, unmolested, LS6 intake that has not been abused by power hungry kids.
