removing upper plenum of stealth ram

Seems like a stupid question.

but i have the throttle body off, and the 4 bolts holding the upper plenum down out, and the thing will not budge.

Unless there's some magic mystery bolt, i guess its just siliconed down so well that it doesnt want to budge (it being cold outside doesnt help)>

Any tips for getting this bugger off? i want to polish it up

Give the plenum a few love taps with a rubber mallet and that should do the trick...

not a bad idea, was trying to knock a screwdriver between the two with a hammer and that just wasnt working

mallet might work but man i swear you could pick the whole car up by the plenum its freakin on there.
