New/updated factory front crossover pipe for the SCV6 is still "plastic" but much thicker, and no seam. I could easily slip my finger in the original pipe, but not the newer pipe...BIG difference/improvement.Never been changed as far I as I know (I’m the second owner). I’ll probably look to a dealer to have that work done (or a different mechanic).
I believe the newer front crossover pipes are metal instead of plastic? Is that true? If so, does that eliminate the issue for good?
IF the guy did a good job on rear, no reason not to use him for the front....There are many gifted natural techs out there that are not LR specific that can easily do this job, but you'll prob pay for coolant/labor to fill/bleed again. Maybe he will work with you on that.
I removed my Supercharger/IC/Intake as I wanted to inspect, and clean everything as well as change the oil and replace the coupler in the SC, plus I just did ALL the hoses, WP and Therm, front/rear pipes, oil cooler seals.
Glad it worked out for you.
