Default Pics of the New Dorman Truck Intake Manifold (3-piece)

I bought this intake off ebay for $30 (I seriously doubt there are any more at that price) and it is BRAND NEW, figured if it was a piece of crap i am only out $30... The only thing i can't figure out is how to attach the fuel rails... I will mess with it more in a few days...

About a dozen screws hold it together....

Here are the pics

F'ing awesome. I knew it looked like it came apart. Get to cleaning those runners up and put it back together. We may have found ourselves a new performance intake for the cheap Who'd a thunk I was kidding?

Looks like there may be some potential there... If nothing else, it looks better. I could see shaving the top some and having a decent looking "truck" manifold for once.
