Default help! back of my ls6 intake.. )pics)

hey guys well i kina accidently busted off that peice in teh back with the big vacuum hose.

i ghlued it all back together hence that green sh¡t.. but i was mock fitting it and it snapped into place! there no o-ring in there.. so i cant put it on the car.. cause there will be the most craziest vacuum leak! i was gonna put a nice bead of some rtv copper sealent in there. so i tried it from the outside but i stopped. not sure if i shuld do it.

is there anyway i can take this hole piece out. its clipped in and im not sure if you need a special tool to take it out.

Definetly need to find something that seals well... I've seen people throw away an intake after breaking that piece.

Simple as epoxy. I bought mine discounted since it was broke, some 15 min epoxy and bam, got a sealed higher flowing intake. It is really easy to plastic epoxy them back together so stop sweating.
