The Dorman replacement intakes were pretty good for a long time, then went to hell. The last one I did (for my 99 bonneville), was so malformed inside that I used a heat gun and wood scraps to "re-form" the damn thing to where it would fit. It was a train wreck. I was just gonna order another and then I heard from someone that they were ALL bad.

I made my own. Took another dead manifold, drilled the hole out to 7/8" and sleeved it with 7/8" stainless steel tubing and fixed it in place with JB weld. Held for 90K and was still OK when I sold the car.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
