You might be able to get it from slp or from Thunder Racing.

You need the coolant pipe and both rear coolant plugs to do the install. The pipe cost me about $25 and the two plugs about 3$ each (I get parts at dealership cost though, so it might be higher). It doesn't matter if you have done the TB coolant bypass mod or not, you still need the front coolant pipe. If you do the install yourself, be careful removing the intake. I broke my oil pressure sender when I removed the old intake. Also, do not over torque the 10 intake bolts because it can cause a vacuum leak. Hope this helps. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
