Better than original

I have not yet installed this, so my review might be less than helpful. However, I removed it from the box and inspected it and it appears to me to be an exact replacement for my vehicle. All the gasket seals are in place. To me and my mechanic self, it appears to be perfect. I am confused by some of the additional hardware though. A couple of brackets, a cover of some sort and a few small bolts. I think if I were to market this intake manifold, I would have included a new set of intake manifold bolts to complete the package. I may discover otherwise, but the additional hardware seems like fluff more than needed stuff. But, I got it now.

So the first day is stupid leaked everwhere, but it just took it a bit to properly seal, now she is sound.The bleeder valve on the intake manifold leaks a little bit but I ignore it.

Perfect fit.no issues. I love having the "gaskets" (o-rings) embedded into the manifold for ease and neatness of the installation.

Horrible product. Bad mold make. Lasted 3 years before cracking on the inside. Blew gaskets and damaged engine. Engine now needs repaired. Intakes should last longer than. 2 years.

Part fit just like OEM/ Would be better if it had metal coil anchors instead of the cheap screws that make threads into molded plastic. Have to be careful not to strip plastic or break the screw.

So Far no problems

When the package came in it was undamaged and looked good coming out the box. However I saw that the molding was definitely not the greatest and my injectors don't sit properly. I had to overtighten the fuel rail to make snug. The only real issue I had was that it has a vacuum leak at intake gaskets. Bought the dorman and had beldens replace it for me. Had to pay labor for the job 2x so save your money, get a dorman.
