Intake Manifold arrived

Last night the intake manifold that I bought arrived. I bought this used from an individual who owns a brand new 2010 Camaro that he upgraded. The intake has 400 miles on it, and as expected, looks brand new. After my motor & clutch nonsense, this was a breath of fresh air. I got a great deal, and it came very well packaged, and looked perfect as promised.

on with the pics.

As it was after unwrapping it:


on it's back:


fuel rails removed:


Insulation piece removed:


Additional parts that came with it:


I need to verify what the additional parts are. One appears to be the vacuum line that would go to the master cylinder. Another is a fuel line, though I can't see how it attaches to the rail. The third is a mystery, though I suspect that it's a vacuum line or a PCV line. It's unlikely that I'll use any of them anyway, but for now I want to know what they are.

One neat thing is that this manifold has the plastic piece with the foam insulation that covers the actual runners. If I keep the stock fuel rails, it might work well to paint just this piece in order to enhance the appearance. Originally I'd planned to paint the whole intake, and I still may, but this will be a good way to decide if I like that look or not.
