I did it the first time 3 years ago and used an O'Reilly's $25 special! Never again. 3 years later, I had to do it again. Like mentioned above, the weld on the inlet tube was inferior and didn't hold. The tube just came out. I bought the OEM from the dealer for $120+ or something like that. Hoping to get 10+ years out of this one. That is the WORST job ever!! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
