The whole intake manifold or just the gaskets????......had my dad (he's a 20+ year mechanic) supervise as Steve and I changed the gaskets on my GTP......after all was said and done took us about 6 hours (this includes adding a Mag snout)....and including the running out and getting the new yellow o-rings because the damn parts store didn't include it with the gasket set I had already purchased after they said it was included. It's not TOO much of a PITA...but it can be if you don't have the right parts (or all of them, in my case, like the correct gasket sealant) to begin with.

well i wouldnt have a snout because its only a gt. And yes the whole damn manifold because in 99 i guess these were prone to failure. So they have "redesigned them" as i've been told, 150 bucks and i believe it comes with gaskets and all.

It would be a simple take off, exchange, tighten thing...i hope

If it doesn't come with gaskets you may not need new ones. The ones on there are a plastic frame with a rubber surround...even for the TB. They are pretty reuseable.

If you want I can see if i can get you discount on one, and if you get a dorman intake manifold, they come with all the gaskets, and a new thermostat.
