Does anyone have a how-to on how to remove the Upper Intake Manifold? I think it's about time to clean mine... Any suggestions on what else I should clean while the manifold's off?

And the crowd breaks into the ever popular chant! F-A-Q! F-A-Q! F-A-Q! Read the FAQ, many of your questions will be answered here! (From the front page of the boards) If you don't have an inch pound torque wrench, don't do this until you do.... Also, buy UI, LI, EGR, IAC and TB gaskets as well...

MEET!!!!!!!!!!!! Ryan, I really think that you should keep your personal "measurements" to yourself.  Hey I saw the Shark in the parking lot at your work the other day as I was driving by on the Sawgrass...she still looked good....well from far anyways. j/k We should get together sometime and hit the Friday night Tower Shops show. Later

I heard that no one meets at the Tower shops anymore. Do you know of any other places to meet? I got my car back, so it all good! Oh yeah.. I connected my dual exhaust myself (Easier than I thought) and when I first start my car, and I rev it up, the tach goes down all the way to like 250 RPMs. It also makes a blunt noise from under the hood when the RPMs go down. Anyone know what that could be about?

Anyone know what that could be about? Did it make the blunt noise before you put on the exhaust? And...before I get too far...what is a blunt noise anyways??? How does your car even idle at 250.....Mine idles low...around 550-600...it should be around 750....hmmmm I guess we'll have to fix it at the next MEET!!! Come on guys.....I need a meet!!!!!

It never made the blunt noise until after I put in the exhaust and it just shoots down to 250 RPMS for a sec.. It then jumps back to 750.. What is even weirder is when it does that, and I have my foot on the cluth, it just totally stalls out.. Do you know what that could be from? I think the noise is coming from the engine(?) and it only last for no more than 3 seconds when the engine is "de-revving".

Sounds to me like you have a leak somewhere. Also, you might want to reset your PCM for a while and then let it re-learn the new mod. That could very well be the possibility..
