You dont have to buy new intake rubber joint, take it apart and use silikon sealent and high temp glue and its like new. Seem to me like they just used glue in the beginning and because of the heat its loosen the grip from the metal. Maybe they did a better job on the aftermarked joints or is it the same crap? The biggest problem is that most people dont know about engine taking false air in this way, and you get sand right into the piston. I would recon that people having backfiring and idle problems maybe can have false air here, use starter gas and check from time to time around joints.
