I have been having a bucking issue with my car. I thought it might be a vacuum leak, warped flywheeel, or a bad sensor. Well as I started to pull things apart to clean the MAF, I found that the intake tube downstream of the MAF that goes into the intake was cracked most the war around. Ah-ha! I found my issues!! So now what? I need a new tube. Should I go aftermarket or maybe just stick with stock. Where is a good place to get either? I will likely only have the car for another year, so I don't want to put a lot of money, but when things are broke, that's generally when I try to upgrade.

Looking to do something soon because my duct tape job will only last so long. Thanks!!

If your selling it, aftermarket products will kill your value. If you take it to a dealer, they will stick it to you. If you sell it private party style to some 16 y/o ricer, he will love you.... going with a ebay sri is probaly the cheapest way tho

Thanks, I should have updated this, but I just replaced it with a stock tube. Wish I could have gotten a nice piece of aluminum tubing, but I don't have the time to mess with it.

I do hope to sell it myself, which will be in less than a year depending on where the Air Force sends us. I imagine the market for gas sippers is strong right now.
