you are paying that much for a new manifold just because yours is dirty? theres a thing called degreaser.....like $5 a bottle, seems like it makes much more sense.

Simple Green and a dish scrubbing brush. The kind with the white bristles. Works wonders.

That $160 could go towards something else.

And people think I'm anal because I clean my engine bay as much as my car........

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...

degreaser, a scotchbrite sponge with the green thingy on back and some lite grit sandpaper will clean that thing. then you can polish all nice and shiny afterwards. geez $160 for a stock mani..damn dealrships and their overpriced goods.
