I'm in the process of replacing my intake manifold using the Dorman product. I took off the factory original and also noted the noise reducer/insulator is falling apart. Per your comment I will throw it away but I'm curious to know if anyone has noticed the engine being louder or hearing new "unwelcomed sounds" since the noise insulator is not longer in place.
I have not noticed any noise problems or weirdness from it. The biggest weirdness was when I touched that plastic thing and it broke off some pieces -- then I wondered 'oh no, what did I do now'. Glad it's gone.
