This is one repair that I haven't seen GM jump right in and
goodwill all over the place.

If you plan to keep the vehicle another 8 years, you might want
to check out the lower intake pipe kits that I've seen kicking
around the net. You can just replace the upper plastic plenum
and install the smaller diameter pipe in the lower manifold.

If you just want to fix it cheaply....just install a new upper
plenum, it will be fine for a long time.
