Lol if you installed his intake manifold assuming it gets made with the exhaust manifold and a DP If he made one the car would weigh close to 1000 pounds more haha. I have a exhaust manifold and while i seriously doubt it will ever break it weights a TON.
I think the intake mani is gonna be made out of aluminum, but yeah the exhaust mani is heavy.

I think it may be a spark issue, I just remembered when I first bought the car it had very similar hesitation but MUCH worse and it threw a misfire CEL.
I was on vacation when I got this car, I met the owner on a Monday, drove the car and it ran fine. I didn't beat on it as much as I should have on the test drive but I was happy with it. Then Friday before my flight back I met him again to pay for it and make arrangements to have it shipped to Texas. During that week the owner emailed and said the coil went out, He knew absolutely NOTHING about the car so he took it to a shop and paid $500 to replace the coilpacks and wires and install incorrect Bosch platinum plugs in it which made it run like s***. When I got the car I changed to NGKs (stock part number) and it ran better but still hesitated so I got two new coils which seemed to fix the problem. Now it has returned, maybe I should try new plugs? These have about 8k miles on them.

No CELs and the O2 sensor isn't very old, looks like it was replaced not long before I bought the car but I don't know it's exact age.
What I really don't understand is that when the car is cold the first few times I get on it a bit it pulls so hard, no hesitation at all but then it does it. I know it isn't heatsoak it's winter.

for the price it can't hurt.
Mine came with the gay platniums too. I still have one, cracked ceramic and all.
Picked up a pair of 3" 45 pipes to replace my ghetto ass intake. surprised how beefy they are. kinda makes my 2.25" pipe look cheap and bad lol. good thing they are getting painted. might leave the intake pipes polished.
