It sounds 10 times better than before.  Haven't driven it yet, but it should be
fine.  I dropped two different intake to head bolts....had the droppsies today!! 
One went down below the fuel rails, and after I got that back with my grabber tool,
I dropped another one, despite being EXTRA careful, down between the alternator and
the a/c compressor.  I tapped the bumper a few times, and that one fell down to the
floor.   Grrrr!!

It went together fine after I got those 12 in, and sounds much quieter, other than
for the snarl, and the overall extraneous noise due to the high mileage.  I even
remembered the butterfly connector!!

EGR tests fine...tries to die when I put suction on the valve.  I'll clean out the
original intake and take pictures of that.
