What to do with intake manifold?

hurricane56 · 03-18-2012, 02:25 PM

I just got done yesterday with the 3-stage intake manifold swap into my 325xi. It was a fairly involved process, but luckily everything went well and is working great.

Now that I've swapped out intake manifolds, what can I do with the old one? Salvage yards typically only take whole cars, and the 325 single stage intake manifold doesn't have any resale value. Should I just junk it?

How long did it take you complete the swap? I'm looking to complete mine this week after I get the car dyno'ed

If you have a place to put it, you should keep it just in case you ever go back to stock.

The swap took about 3.5 hours, I did the swap by myself. Those oil separator lines are a PITA!

Probably a good idea, probably just bag it and stash it away.
