Default How to C8 threads??

On the C7 Forum area there are many "How To" threads. Are there any similar "How To" C8 Threads?

I'm looking for a way to add a ported Throttle Body and possibly a ported intake manifold without having to pull the complete Air Box. Can this be done? Are there any tricks to removing the OEM Intake manifold?

I'm not sure if there's a good repository for C8 how to posts, but here's the list from my journal:
  • How-to: Fix front wheel liners with degrading plastic grille after track use. link. 434.
  • How-to: Get coilover remote canisters into the trunk without dry-connect or big holes. link. 394.
  • How-to: Install grille mesh to a Z06 / wide-body without removing the bumper. link.
  • How-to: Easy-ish way to install front sway bars (link). 89.
  • How-to: Add 2nd Auxiliary radiator (a.k.a. V09 mod) (link).
  • How-to: Fail-proof your NPP actuators for extended (roadcourse) track use (link).

It can be done, just a bit more difficult. You will probably have to loosen it up and slide it back to get the tube on the TB, or just fight with it. why don't you want to take the air box out of the way?

Remove the intake manifold and throttle boy as a unit. It is actually the easiest way. changed more than one.
