best i could do for out of the trunk of my car..





i think im gonna paint the lower silver


anyone ever reuse lower intake gaskets? mine are not very old (6 months).. they are the trick flow ones with the blue silicone around the ports. also i just use the stock lower gasket? right. so i can pick up the intake gasket kit from the zone for $12 then just order the upper gasket?

If you have been driving on them I wouldn't really use them. Inkate gaskets are pretty cheap. I mean I am reusing mine but all I did was torque them down and it sat for 6 months but I am going to copper coat them before I install them just to be sure.

The lower gaskets will most likely want to stick and tear when you pull the lower off. Just but a Felpro kit from the parts store. If the upper gasket is still in tact then use it.

i know about the uppers but i dont have any of the upper gaskets.. why cant they just sell an upper and lower kit for the trick flow intake?!? i gotta buy them separately..

i guess ill just have to buy 2 uppers for $11 each + shipping its either that or buy a set of 4 for $30.. why do they sell them in a pack of 4 wtf? who needs 4 uppers?

and the upper/lower kit for the stock intake for $12..
