ok so i bought a skunk2 intake manifold about a week ago and put it on the other day, it was awesome power gains for around 3k to redline and the sound with the cold air intake was awesome but today im driving and all of a sudden smoke pours for under the hood, not good in rush hour traffic, so i pull over and look at it and the stupid metal coolent nipple on sthe flange part is just dangling there with coolent pouring out, i hate skunk2 so much right now, but my buddy at toyspeed is calling them and we are goin to send it back tomorrow, so we will find out tomorrow the outcome

that sucks, hope you get everything figured out

That sucks man, good luck. You noticed power gains? Do you have a cam/aftermarket tb?

yeah i pickd up a bigger throttle body what my friend had laying about from another project

This is a very common problem with the Skunk2 IMs.. even the newest ones with the "S2" logo on them Sorry about your luck. There are plenty of fix ideas posted on HT.

edit: And Skunk2 is definitely aware of the problem already!

i was using nitrous and had that same problem happen to me too. i hammed it in hella hard and use that gasket sealant around the edges and never had the problem.

That sucks to hear abiut ur problem and the fact that they know about it

before i even bought mine i knew about the potential problem, so i just used a lil bit of JB weld. rolled a small line up and put it around the coolant fitting and smoothed it out. no leaks yet.
