    Agreed.

    However, there is a 'Cheater's Trick' to doing the install that makes the job go a whole lot more quickly...

    Instead of actually removing the Intake, if you have an extra pair of hands around to help-out, it is *possible* to lift the Intake up off of the studs just enough to remove to old Gaskets and slide the new ones into place.

    My VX just started doing this. I hear a pretty loud whistle and it is coming from under the hood, and it gets louder as I accelerate. No CEL, no idle surging, just loud whistling. Still seems like it must be the intake manifold gaskets.

    So, who has done these themselves? Wondering how much has to come off and how long it takes.

    Thanks - Bart
