im guess a highport motor? If so your better off just removing the intake manifold to get to it. Sucks I know but no real way around it. Replace any other hoses you might run across that look questionable while your there such as the smaller hoses going to the throttle body and the one going from the coolant pipes to the coolant pipe attached to the head. Use good clamps and position them to where you could get a socket or screwdriver on them in the future if they ever leak again.

if you have all the emissions stuff on there its just more work and more of a pain, if its a jdm motor not too bad. Just gotta remove all the bolts for the mounting brackets and some are a pain there is two underneighth, and one on each side, one that goes right by the throttle body and one that is kinda down by the powersteering pump. you can remove it in pieces by taking the runners off first. Just a matter of removing stuff.

If you have the egr stuff you can leave the valves in place just gotta undo the tube to the egr valve going to the exhaust manifold.

If its a low port all you have to do to fix the hose is take the upper half off.

I realized I could just remove the top half after an hour of looking at it.
I will get it tomorrow.. it got cold and dark out. Thanks for the quick responds and help :]

Sooo I have been messing with this thing off and on.. I work a lot so I cant put a lot of time into it :/
anyway.. I cant seem to get the plenum off, I thought I found all the bolts, so it wiggles now.. but wont come off.. it seems to be stuck by the oil filter..

There is a short bracket on that side. You will have to go under the car to get the other brackets. There are two brackets underneighth holding it as well.

Then there are hoses going undernieth to the throttle body from the coolant pipes.

Do I really need to put those brackets on the bottom back? lol
