that's alot to pay for a stock Intake Mani..I mean I have found port and polished intaked mani's for less then that..
You might just want to do a good cleaning on it or somehting as opposed to dumping that kinda $ out...degreaser,scrub bruch and a little elbow grease should do it wonders..
If nothign else clean it good and paint it...Hope this might help...
