+1 on crack head pricing! You have to question- when something seems to good to be true. I have done(intake cleaning) close to 80 cars and that price is ridiculous! OP- how many cars have you done?

Takes about 4 hours to let the car cool down and take apart the intake manifold, coils and plugs in some cases... walnut blast and put everything back together. Walnut itself cost about 40 bucks.

More like 4 hours or less start to finish. A box of walnut shells will do several cleanings. I still agree though, $160 wouldn't be worth it for me.

alright? if you want me to take more of your money id be glad to. ive taken my manifold off several times, and have done plenty of intake valve cleaning. it takes me MAYBE 20 mins to get the manifold off, whoevers taking 4 hours or whatever to do this are slow as shit. but for instance, if you take your car to bmw for say... a leaking valve cover gasket, pretty sure they get paid like 7 hours for that job. it takes them less than half that time to do it. just sayin, most of the people who charge 350+ are taking your money because you dont know any better. just letting you know.

why would you ever take out the coils and plugs? for what reason???? pull the cowl off, airbox out, throttle body off, disconnect a few sensors and vacuum lines, those 2 annoying torx bolts on the bottom of the manifold holding that wiring harness, and zip off all the manifold bolts and thats pretty much it lmfao. no way in hell that should take any tech over 45 mins. and it definitely doesnt take 2.5 hours to clean all 6 ports out...

nah more like a bottle of this magic shit that probably has the potential to bleach caitlyn jenners asshole, a pick, and a makita with a wire brush on the end of it. just as clean as walnut blasting and in no part of that am i spending $40 dollars on some nuts.

Why does the throttle body come off? Why torx bolts?

That's not what is involved in taking it apart! I have done close to 80 cars and these items have never been removed. You are doing unnecessary steps and then charging undercut rates?
