Fuckn' A I got options. Heres the **** I've done so far. Finally after two weeks of waiting for the time to put it on, I get the old one off and see what seems to be a small problem. No sweat, the old one should be easy enough to remove. WRONG! So I call the dealer and expect the part to be 50 bucks or so, whatever...gotta have it right? WRONG! Unserviceable they say. Look down into the old intake and can see how it's locked in. Think about prying or punching it out and then weigh in the fact that if I **** it up my car is down for a while and I have two unuseable intakes that will have to be epoxied or otherwise repaired. Now the old intake is back on the car and I gotta find time to go through the install again. The intake is not ruined, but it will require ruining another intake to make it work. I'm not gonna hack mine up because if I sell my car, I will demod it and need the old intake.

That's very cool of you to offer. I think the seller has the old piece that's in useable shape and hope to get it soon. That would be the easiest route. Thanks for the offer.

Mind your own business you dont know ****. I didnt charge anywhere new price for the intake first of all. Second of all the price included paypal fees as well as $30 for shipping. And third the intake has 6+ hours of sanding and prep, as well as $50+ for paint and supplies. Butt your two sense in someplace else moron.

I said you charged him like new, not new price first of all.
If you have half a brain and look at the for sale section at all you will see that 300-350 is the going rate for ls6 intakes. Thats good intakes and not some bullshit thats missing parts that are not even supposed to be taken off & wont work until you jerry rig the **** up.
You know what really smells like the **** that your full of is the fact that you didnt mention that the part was missing. Man up *****, and admit that you burned the man.
