Thanks for your input Woody. Removing the intake manifolds changes what? I’ll have to contact the Canadian border services to see what the current situation is with auto parts. Your current president has thrown a wrench in the works and it is no longer clear what is dutied, taxed, surtaxed, etc. Before, auto parts manufactured in the US were duty free whereas German parts were taxed at 6.1%.
BTW do you have an 03 or later 3.2 motor?
Cheers James
