It seems like quite a bit of work to do.

The part numbers are:
14001AC540 for the Intake Manifold
14035AA720 for the gaskets, you need 2
And I couldn't find a part number for a throttle body gasket, unless you can use the same one as the MY16.

It just seems like a lot of work to go through for virtually no gain. I think I may pass. If anyone else finds out anything more, let me know.
Definitely! I wonder if the change is due to similar reasons Mitsubishi changed theirs on the Evo X from metal to plastic. They realized plastic was ok at stock heat levels. However, swapping to metal was always one of the first recommendations from tuners as the heat was too much for the plastic when pushed beyond stock hp. We all know these cars run hot stock, so maybe this is more of a preventative measure.
