Ur video was very instructional. I had two mechanics look at my car and neither could get the job done wanted 1500$. U just saved me 1400$ thank you

What did you have to remove to gain enough room to do the cut. I'm going to do this project it a great video. Thanks

Just a question here, but couldn't we just save us all some time and money by going to the junk yard and getting this part and not having to cut anything? Cuz hey thats what I did. There is another alternative out there that you drill out the preexisting hole on that manifold and put a metal pipe/nipple in. However most of the guys that do this secure it from the inside using JB weld which over time will crumble off and fall inside your engine. Not good for the engine. So in reality if this happens, you have three options to approach when repairing or replacing. The one mentioned in this video is often overlooked but should work. My question is, is this part off a 2nd gen? Cuz we got one thinking we'd be able to but the garage refused to do it and instead did the whole JB weld thing I said above.

Trying to do this repair now and am having a very difficult time fitting this piece and pointers for finding that hidden hole with it damaging the gaskets i feel like if i cut or sand any more then I'm going to cut them

did you have to sand the dorman piece flat? i heard they come with a mating surface that isn't flush and often leaks if not sanded down flat.
