Tear along front face of upper intake manifold. Called several salvage yards to find replacement and was told by all that they can't keep these in stock. When I did locate one the manager at the salvage yard asked what happened to my intake. I showed him where the intake split open and he informed me that they're seeing a lot of these with the same problem and I was lucky to find the one he had. This plastic (composite) component probably doesn't fair well in Arizona.
