I was wondering if there is an engine model that comes stock with a Plastic intake. or should I use manifold spacers for the money. I'm not looking to spend 1,600+US on an aftermarket intake manifold. The intake is just so very hot to the touch. If i use spacers, I could bore out the holes and insert milled plastic composite plastic tubes so the heat won't come through the bolts that bad.

 

 

 

I am new to subarus... I used to own a turbo cavalier, and turbo sunfire. I bought my 92 legacy winter beater for 1100 canadian. it was a great deal.

I want to boost and upgrade this car aswell now.

Search grimmspeeds website. You will find the gaskets you are looking for that are quite thick.
