I just found out that my intake manifold is cracked. I saw the post about the extended warranty but my car is well past that. I was wondering where I could get this part for relatively cheap. How difficult would it be to do this on your own? I did call a couple of local shops & they wanted $800-$900 for the work. They were telling me that the part alone costs $400+. I appreciate any help. I recently had a tie rod, & wheel bearing replaced. I'd hate to dump the car now after putting in all that money. If you guys know of anywhere I can get the parts or get the work done for less than my local shop let me know. I live out in Plainfield Illinois.
