Default Disassemble ls7 intake

I did a search and didn't find anythign so forgive me if this was already posted. I was wonding how hard it is to disassemble the ls7 intake or if it is possible. I just got mine and saw that is has three bolts on the bottom and firgured that after following the seam around the intake that it comes apart. Also i can't remember where but i thought that I had seen some pics somebody had posted up of one taken apart.

Also was just wondering if anybody had messed with opening it up to accept a 95mm TB. When we measured the opening on mine it was already at 92mm so figured that it shouldn't be to hard to clearance it a little more so that the blade doesn't hit.

That should be interesting.

So nobody has had one of these apart yet?

I've had lots of intakes apart. Not the LS7, yet, though.

You won't like what it takes to reseal it. As such, I recommend you not open it up.

Thats what I was afraid of. I knew that it was probably a bitch to get to seal again.
