Has anyone ran into trouble unplugging the stock manifold which runs the exhaust through the smaller pipe to help keep the fuel intake warm in cold weather? If so , I have just made a tool that helped me successfully unclog the stock manifold. I've heard that the aftermarket intake manifolds are garbage I'mthinkingof manufacturingthis tool and want to see if there is any interest out there for it
. Let me know if you are having trouble with your intake manifold being clogged.

I've had good luck with old speedo cables on a drill.
