I have it cause my stock one was cracked and making a vacum leak. I got this one for free from the junkyard and plugged the hole with a round peice of rubber. It works for now....

You should look into removing that AC crap in the Fire Wall if you have the opportunity to. It helps when changing plugs, trust me..

Believe me, I'm going to lol. This may sound weird, but I was actually thinking of pulling the motor over the winter just to really clean/re paint the engine bay and remove all the junk that I don't want. Like AC/heat, traction control, unnecessary brackets, etc.
