Default intake manifold gunk, need to clean?

i just took off a Y8 IM manifold im going to install on my Y7 later on and the inside of the Intake manifold is F'N dirty. Do i take it to a shop to get it acid dipped or can i do something else to clean it out w/o waiting for a shop to do it.

take it and get it dipped. shouldn't be too expensive. Also the only way to really clean it out, especially in the runners.
