I bought a new SVT/ST200 upper intake manifold from another CEG member, but when it arrived two pipes were sticking out of the box. Yes the package was insured, but since I didn't see any obvious damage I made no claim aginst FedEx. The other day I was packaging up the manifold to send it to Extrude Hone and I noticed a small crack in the pipe that comes out directly below the throttle body inlet. Ford sell this pipe - as a part of the manifold assembly! Is this pipe the same on both a standard and SVT manifold? IF I can get my hands on a new pipe can someone replace it for me? Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do?

I really don't want to buy another new manifold, I already have $480 in this one.
