Plastic / Composite Intake Manifolds

[Sijray21]

definitely not a huge deal for the manufacturers. this would just be a problem for the late model owners unless you do the intensive research on a car's maintainability to see if there are any serious design flaws or something else irrepairable unless doing serious custom work, you're likely going to get rid of the car or spend a lot of money.

i went through 3 radiators on my old integra due to the plastic end-tanks. i even switched to metal end-tanks one-time and that didn't resolve the issue of the slow coolant leaks from the tanks...
