How do I clean that out? I've SeaFoam'd before and didn't get a whole lot of difference in idle before.
What else can I do to clean the intake?

x2 on pulling it apart. When i did intake gaskets I scrubbed everything out.

I love seafoam, but I also never have dumped it into the air intake, as I don't trust chunks of stuff having the possibility of passing through the valve sealing area and combustion chambers.
