Smile 2008 intake manifold

Found this being on the sales section on DF from another user. I got the mani and adapter for 300. so a huuuge discount vs buying from airram. I bought Genuine mopar engine block paint http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ht_2047wt_1071 (dark blue) to paint it. I'm going to pick up the Studs that hold it in at the dealer tomorrow and I also needed to buy a 3/4 inch threaded pipe plug to cover the EGR hole in the manifold since the 01's dont have the EGR. Since it flows so much better than the older style it gets about 2points lean on the AFR gauge. But since I have custom tuning with SCT, thats no problem.

Thats all for now. here are some pics.

That should have been considered robbery with a price that low!
