Intake Manifold?
If a have an extended warranty do you think they would install the Livernois PI Adaptor kit if I purchased it on the side? What can I expect? How much is that tune you need afterwards. Those kits are down to 499 now.

Please don't suggest me go thru the whole PI swap thing, cant be done in the near future so maybe an intake now.

sure looks like cracked intake. If you have the warranty, then you should be good to go on a replacement. As far as the Liv. kit goes, if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't pony up for the extra money and labor to install the kit with the plates. If you do want the PI adapter plate kit with PI intake, what about speaking to them and offer to pay the difference between a std NPI intake swap and the Liv. kit?

Just get the stocker for now, no sense dropping the extra cash on the livernois kit if you want to do the whole swap later down the road.

Replacing your intake manifold is an easy job if you decide to do it yourself...have them do your stock intake and take it off and sell it when you put the P.I. on yourself.

Just a thought.
